Dearest Family!
This has been a fun & exciting week! I think I’ll just
mention several of the highlights.
Wednesday after helping a couple, we returned home to prepare for
an evening with a HP group Presidency & I to help one of their wives. Bro
Croft went into LDS.org to review some videos which he was going to use. Much
to his surprise, everything on the site was in Spanish! There is a place to
change the language & it would change to any language listed, but each time
we selected English, it would return to Spanish! We checked both of our tablet,
both computers – all the same. We tried using other browers – still just
Spanish! We had Darece check her’s – Spanish. The next option was to call a
help line, but who do we call? We didn’t have a help number for LDS.org –
so.o. FS it is! The missionary on the other end of the line (in Utah) just
didn’t know what to do. We asked her to go to LDS.org, which she did. Guess
What? Her’s was in Spanish also! Next step, she contacted her supervisor (in
California). She checked her’s also. It was in English. Very interesting!
We were given a number for more technical support & he couldn’t replicate
the problem. While on hold with this gentleman, the first song we heard was “I
Need Thee Every Hour” them “Put your Shoulder to the Wheel”. He said he could do
nothing. (His was in English, in Utah) We persisted, and finally he sent
the problem to his supervisor. About a half hour later it returned to
English! Thank goodness the video’s we needed for that evening Bro Croft had
downloaded prior to the Spanish!
Friday Afternoon, we helped the Elders. Elder Hunter has a line,
non-member, which he was stuck on! I had worked on it prior to our appointment
& just felt very uneasy about some parents we were going to add. I felt
inspired to go to Ancestry.com, look in the public trees to see if anyone else
was working on this family and they were! It was wonderful to share with him
& help him do it, to discover several more generations of his tree. The
first parents were not the right ones & there were several marriages, etc
with the correct ones. There were three Elders together & two had an
appointment to give a discussion to a Sister who is becoming active now. We
helped the third Elder while they were away. At the end of their discussion,
they were holding it across the hall from the FHC, the Sister pointed to the FHC
door & said, “Can I go in there?” They were excited to bring her in, &
now we have an appointment to help her this week!
About a month ago a HP group leader in Cowley talked to us about
giving a presentation in their Priesthood mtg sometime. Of Course, we were
willing, just let us know when. Today we decided to attend Priesthood &
Relief Society in Cowley in between the two Sunday School classes that we help
in. Bro Croft went to the Bishop before Priesthood meeting to see if he could
just say a few things about FH at the beginning of the meeting? He discovered
that they were expecting the FH presentation today! The Lord does have a way of
putting people in the right place at the right time! We were there to fulfill
this assignment – when we needed to be, even if we didn’t know it!
Other activities, in addition to FH appointments – Fishing on a
calm & beautiful lake Friday a.m – Friday night Lovell Football, Dance team
& Swing Choir. Saturday Afternoon we went to Allen & Amber’s to visit
all of them! We had a great time making some treats & loving our newest
Grandson, Neil Allen Croft – what a precious little guy he is!
It’s been an awesome week with lots of spiritual moments and the
goodness of the people we help is wonderful! They pray for us, thank us and give
us food items all the time! We’re so grateful to be able to serve the Lord thru
all the people in our area. We did service work at the Park Visitor center this
week too! Had some special time there informing folks of this area and what is
available for them to enjoy.
We love you all and may God Bless,
Bro &
Sister Croft
