I made a History Colorbook for the children and adults alike. Much of the info came from Betty Ruth Lindsey. She also married a Lindsey. She lives in Lancaster, Penn. in a retirement center and is in her late 80s. She is the oldest daughter of Uncle Everett, Sylvia's sibling just younger than she.

I'm not meaning to boast but the coloring book did for one what I had hoped it would. It inspired our missionary to do better and go forward in faith to carry on the good work our GGrandfather started. Craig wrote last letter:
Hello to My Wonderful Parents,

Hey,how is everyone doing? Thanks for the package. It was a good package. Thanks!
Hey Mom, I thought that coloring book was interesting. My companion was looking at some of his ancestors stories and I was looking at my ancestral file that you sent out. I think you told me about some of those stories. The next day we happened to run into three guys who were starting to get drunk. It was an interesting conversation, and not just because they were getting drunk. That preacher must have been a good missionary. He converted so many people and he didn't even have the fullness of the gospel. It sounds like he was a good guy.
Well, there is a great thing that happened. We had this one appointment and we didn't have much time to get there so we tried to take a shortcut. The shortcut ended up taking longer than we expected so we ended up going through some bushes. By the time we got to our appointment I could tell that I had a flat front tire.
We pumped it up after the appointment and we went home (I guess it was a slow leak). THen we ended up pumping it up in the morning, and I had to pump up the tire a few times that day. THen the same thing happened on Friday where we had to pump up the tire in the morning and go meet with the Bishop at the church for a little while. We finished planning at the church and we had dinner. I think ny tire needed a
little air and I haven't had a problem with it since that time.
Also, we ended up getting locked out of the house (that's a story in itself) and the Howards were going to be gone for a few days. However, we were able to get back in (miraculously).

Well, I hope you all are doing well.

Thanks again.

Elder Lindsey
