Dearest Family!
What an amazing week this has been! We have had FHE with two
Bishops, one has 5 children at home & two away from home. One of the Youth
Consultants also helped with this family! The other was a husband & wife,
family all out of high school – the missionaries just moved in with them. One
Bishop, while Bro Croft was helping his daughter, was exploring some more in the
descendency view. He found all the siblings in his Yugoslavian side of the
family who had immigrated to the US! It was so exciting for him! Both bishops
are catching the vision of this great work & how it can help their ward
members! We were also in the the home of a High Priest Group Leader. He met
us at the door with “I just have this problem with this family, none of them are
married.” He & Brother Croft worked on it thru the Descendancy View using
the hints & before long they were finding spouses & families. It has
been an exciting time for everyone who learns to do it correctly. Indexing is
where it is. It indeed does “Fuel the find!” And everyday
the hints increase in number, helping us find more people!
We have had some other special appointments this week. We have
indexed, added photos, & consulted with a Sister who wants to add a history
she wrote about her husband & his family. Each week we also help several
non-members. One of them also visits the FHC several times a week. Today in
Worland we shared the Memories App with several! Dad was ask about the new
Descendency process and had a chance to explain it to the HP Group! It was great
to be with Allen, Amber & their family today. Melvin, Ira & Leanne were
all in the Primary Program & did great! We enjoyed lunch with them & the
afternoon. It was Homecoming in Lovell & we went to part of the Pep Rally
& the first half of the Football game. Also received pictures from Vicki of
Mica’s Homecoming Dance! Thanks you!!!!!
Friday was Temple Day, had a great time in Billings, Saturday morning
we found time to go out to the Lake & do a little fishing! Weather was
beautiful, caught a few Catfish, & enjoyed watching deer along the shore.
The Women’s Broadcast was so very special, so hope you were all able to
attend! Several Scriptures stand out in my mind! Philippians 4:13 “I can
do all things through Christ which Strengtheneth me.” Each talk was so
wonderful & I so want to read & listen to them all again. At the end
of Pres Uchtdorf’s talked mentioned two scriptures which I want to find. Dad and
I always re-listen to these talks several times in the coming months. Now it is
exciting to anticipate General Conference this weekend. It will also be a
special blessing in our lives to watch Elder Scott’s funeral tomorrow! He was
such a special Apostle! We use his FH quotes every week!
It was great to talk to Vicki last night too! Also got a note from
Chalin in the MTC and he is doing wonderfully! Enjoyed seeing the eclipse last
night also! We love you all and appreciate your desires to CTR!
Bro & Sister Croft
