Dear Family
Well another week has flown by. Andy called and he said to Roylene that it was going slow to him. Yet we feel that it is going way fast. I know each of you have busy lives as you are working hard and raising families. And Aaron is working hard and looking for his eternal companion. I think he has a harder job than the rest of you. I remember those days of my life. At least I think I can remember that long ago. Last week on saturday I interviewed 23 Priesthood holders as we are changing the District President in Croatia on the 18 and 19 March conference. I get to preside as there is not a visiting authority. Andy you were an inspiration this morning. The theme and meeting outline came to me right after your phone call. It was great. On sunday we traveled early in the morning to Karlovac for fast meeting. It was good, but the young sister members are all having word of wisdom problems. It is hard here for all members. Satan has a real hold on these countries. I know that the work will progress if the members will keep the commandments and the missionaries continue to have faith. Today Roylene is fixing another meal as we say good bye to the Craners. They will be replaced by the Miles from our stake. I am going to keep this short. I am afraid that the computer will loose it again. We had a drive in a blizzard on sunday after church. It took 4 1/2 hours when it normally takes only two to drive home. All is well. We love each of you. Laney and Rick I hope your family is doing fine after the funeral and all of the arrangements. Love Dad
