We would like to leave early.

Could you work out our schedule so that we could leave a bit early on Saturday? We have a Senior grandson at TimpView High who has a role in the play. We can't go Friday and would like to go on Saturday. It starts at 7 p.m. so we would have a tough time getting there and getting a seat before it starts if we leave at 5 p.m. It takes about 45-55 minutes from Manti to Nephi and then about 40 minutes from Nephi to Provo. We would then need to fight Provo traffic to get to TimpView. The play is also on Thursday but I have school board meeting and I hate to try to make up the meeting afterward by listening to the tapes. It is possible, however. So if it is difficult for you to do, then let me know. My daughter-in-law in Hurricane is having health issues and we may also have to go get her kids. (Our youngest son's wife.) He is trying to hold down the fort but I don't know how that will go. We will let him do what he can and what he thinks a good dad should do but I will tell you it would be easier on me emotionally if he would let me help. I don't know how long they will keep her at the hospital so we may be looking at a week or two. Eileen wrote: Dear Myrna, I am so sorry about your daughter in law. Live is so hard. I have texted Bro. Maxwell to see what he wants to do about the temple schedule. We had you portraying 3/4 at 3:30. He'll get back to me and I will let you know as soon as he does. I don't believe getting off early will be a problem. Enjoy the play and, as for the daugther-in-law's health, keep your chin up, my dear friend!! Love you Eileen aka Sis. Lofthouse

About the note about Trauntvein.

Myrna wrote: The man, in Texas, who handed me the note really did not have much helpful information for us.

The first word he had written on it was "Opladen."

Next was, "Leverkusen--Opladen."

He then wrote:(Rheinland) NRW (stake); Nord Rhein Westfalen

He then wrote: "Trautwein."  It is note spelled as ours is "Trauntvein." There is not much there.

The Trautwein, he said, was a member of the church and could be traced through church records.

Eva wrote: Thank you. In all the years I researched, many of the family was wein, one Tromp wein.  I think the spelling was just whatever the Parish minister heard- Danish with a heavy German accent.  As I think back over those many years, I was so blessed to be able to find so much and be able to connect families.  I know the Holy Spirit was my constant companion.  As I get older, I keep thinking about in not too many more years, I am going to finally meet all of those wonderful folks and be able to finally tie them into their parents.   

One day  David showed me how he was able to pull  up the huge family tree in a fan shape.  As we were looking at the lines, I noticed that our gr grandmother about three back ( Marie Fredericka Birch Trauntveins  parents were not there.  I had brought that family group sheet to the library with me that morning and showed it to my favorite missionary who had been helping me for weeks.  She showed  me how to add  her parents and a brother I had also found.  In doing that , she also showed me how someone else had added a sister; I had never found her in any of my extensive research.  I was elated It was in a totally different parish than I knew about.  How wonderful the Spirit is  to help us be successful  and for somone else to connect us.  I would like to find that person; maybe he could help me in joinning up some more families. 

Have a great Turkey Day. God Bless you.

Oh, by the way, I loved Ben's quote about the 100,000 missionaries. Both of you young men are doing terrific. 

It took me three full days (AT MY SNAIL'S PACE TO WRITE, STUFF AND MAIL LETTERS TO 13 MISSIONARIES WHICH INCLUDED THREE MATURE COUPLES IN PAIRS, AUSTRALIA AND COVE FORT,  ELDERS EVERYWHERE FROM TWO IN AREAS  IN AFRICA, TAIWAN, PHILIPPINES, TONGA, SOUTH AMERICA, ENGLAND,USA.)  It is so rewarding. I am so grateful for the Lord's help in writing and thinking and planning. May He continue to bless you in all you do.   

 MAY HE CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU IIN ALL YOU DO. LOVE  AND  HUGS ALWAYS, EVA

Our relative, Marg, passed on.‏

1927 ~ 2012
Marjorie Musig Greenhalgh passed away Monday, Nov. 12, 2012 in St. George, Utah.

Marjorie was born July 4, 1927 to Lucina Clark Musig and William DeMille Musig in Springville, Utah. She was married and sealed to her eternal companion Ralph Clark Greenhalgh on Sept. 8, 1948 in the Manti Utah Temple.

She lived her life with joy, and deeply loved and enjoyed rearing her family of four sons: Larry Clark; Kent Dean (deceased); Blaine William; Wesley Joseph; and two daughters: Karen Lou; and Linda. She taught them a love for the Lord and His Gospel, and for family, service, work, and our nation. 

Marjorie was very patriotic and loved that her birthday was on Independence Day. She was a lifetime member of the Chalice Club of Nephi. 

She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in many responsibilities in the Stake and Ward Primary organizations. She especially enjoyed their mission together, serving in the Boston, Massachusetts Mission office and their success in searching for and teaching many interested in the Church. From 1991 to 1994, she served as assistant to the Matron in the Manti, Utah Temple. She was faithfully attending the temple until just a year ago. 

Marjorie developed into an accomplished artist. Her home is adorned with many of her oil paintings, depicting the beautiful Utah landscapes she loved. 

Marjorie is survived by her husband Clark of Nephi; Larry (Diane) of St. George; Karen (Bill) Bennett of Laverkin; Blaine (Janet) of Pleasant Grove; Wesley (Janet) of Heber City; and Linda (John) Curtis of Star, Idaho. 

She is also survived by two sisters Merial (George) Hawkins of Bountiful, and Elva Christian of St. George; brother-in-law James (Elaine) Greenhalgh of Logan; as well as 18 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren (one deceased). 

Funeral services will be held Saturday, Nov. 17, 2012 at 11 a.m. in the Nephi 128 LDS Ward Chapel (222 South 100 East, Nephi, Utah) following a brief viewing from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Family and friends may call Friday evening at the Anderson Funeral Home (94 West 300 North, Nephi, Utah) from 6 to 8 p.m. She will be laid to rest in the Vine Bluff Cemetery in Nephi.
