Dear brother Curt and dear sister-in-law Alma.
Thank you very much for your last letter of August 13. I would have answered it earlier, but illness had set in again.
Fritz had an operation 5 weeks back, he had a hernia (or fracture), which he had left hanging too long and I had Shingles at the same time, which was very painful.
I got a total of 14 injections from September 3 to 30, I feel better again.
Fritz had been operated on September 9, we went to the hospital every day, sometimes twice, here you can visit the sick twice a day.
He also feels much better now.
Yes, we all have reason to thank our Heavenly Father for His goodness and we are His eternal debtors.
Since I am about to write about the family, I will also write something about Richard and Hilde. They came back from their mission the first week in September, the 2 years have really passed quickly.
They did a good mission, you have to think about their age. But they are also happy to have their home back. But also with them came illnesses, Richard had a bad cold and Hilde had to be taken to the hospital on October 1. She also had a hernia (or fracture) operation. Yesterday she came home again, she feels pretty good.
The family has also grown again with us, we have a new granddaughter since August 17, from Joseph our youngest son.
Now we have 10 grandchildren and 3 step-grandchildren.
What do you hear from your daughter Inge? Her daughter Margot no longer writes to me. Max unfortunately could not visit you, because of these circumstances, he was glad when he was back home, came a few days earlier.
Before I go further into your letter, someone was at the door, when I opened it a Negro was standing in front of me, he wanted to give me a tract, I talked with him for a short time, I knew immediately to which religious party he belonged.
He wanted to tell me about 1970 and you want to write me about 1975.
I did not write to you that the dead will speak to each other, the body is dead, but the spirit that animates the body lives on, it is a spiritual body that was created by the Father in heaven and this spiritual body is given an opportunity to take on this our earthly body.

--- here the continuation ---
According to your doctrine of faith, there is a standstill between death and resurrection. With our Father in heaven there is no standstill, it is an eternal progress.
Read these passages 1 Peter 4: 6, and 1 Peter 3: 18-20. These passages I mentioned, where the Savior speaks to the murderers, where you write of characters, as I understand it, people have put the comma according to their interpretation.
Dear Curt, I‘m not trying to convince you of the pure teachings of our Savior, everyone must find that out for themselves. I got my Faith Testimony through prayers and through the power of the Holy Spirit. I think I have written to you about this before.
In my prayer I asked the Lord how I could get a Faith Testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ, because I often went to the meetings with our parents and heard the testimonies of others, this caused me to say a prayer from my heart and kneel before my bed, it was as if a voice said to me, read the Book of Mormon, which voice I heard, in 6 weeks I had read the book, in the last chapter it says if you in faith and with a sincere heart ask the Lord if this is the truth, then the truth will be revealed to you by the power of the Holy Spirit.
I got that Faith Testimony. Joseph was an instrument in the hands of God. If he had denied all this, he could be the richest man, because he was offered a lot of money, if he had said that it was not the truth. On the contrary, he went through all these difficulties and gave his life, for the truth. One more thing, Joseph Smith did not ask the Lord to start another church, he just wanted to know which was the right one of all these sects, after reading the passage in James 1: 5, and what answer did he get? None is right, they draw near with their lips, but their hearts are of them. From then on, the Lord has given them revelation. It is not Joseph Smith's church, it is the church of Jesus Christ. This name was also given by revelation. Through it, the priesthood was also restored. The Lord can only recognize one church, and that is the one that bears His name. He would be a very changeable God if he recognized all this confusion. I see my paper sheet is coming to an end, I'm going to do something on the side....
