Typed this into Google Translate. Some of the words are difficult to read and punctuation is interesting. There are a few weird things in the translation, but for the most part, it seems to make sense. Difficult words are [...]; likewise questionable translations. Perhaps others will make this better. In the meantime, here it is:
Dear Brother Curt and dear Sister-in-law Alma. (Sch…gerin which I took to mean sister in law).
I finally take the time to write a letter and thank you for your last letter and for the good kisses.
First of all from the family, when we all come together we are 25 people. In October there will be a grandchild, Donna is expecting her 5th child and she has 3 stepchildren, that makes 8, she has her hands full. That's what marriage is for.
The Lord said to Adam and Eve, be fruitful and multiply. We give the spiritual body created by our Father in heaven an opportunity to accept an earthly body. We were all there when the great council was in heaven. The plan was worked out for everyone. Satan, a son of the morning, offered to redeem mankind and he wanted all the glory. Because Jesus Christ said, send me and all glory be to you, heavenly father. Satan revolted and a third of the spirits were with them and these spirits have no opportunity to take bodies. He knew here on this earth now in this last time he knows that he doesn't have much time left. All of this is in the scriptures. Now that I'm on the subject of religion, I'll write a little more about it. L. C. (dear Curt ?) what you write there, that Jesus Christ was installed by our father as king in 1914, where is that written in the bible. In the scriptures it is said that he will come as he ascended into heaven. What is going on now, these are all signs of the times that we are living lately, but no one knows when Jesus Christ is coming, even the close ones in heaven (the angels ?) do not know. Then this passage you quoted, "Matt. 26:1c,20 He commanded his apostles [...] to all the people, preach the gospel to all, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and the holy spirit. Then comes the question, who has the right to officiate in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit? Only those who are called to do so. Jesus when he was here on earth had his church organized. He is the head of the church and ordains apostles, [ziebziger], etc. (and so on.) That is the priesthood. No man has the right to officiate in the name of God unless he holds the priesthood.
And who has the right to officiate in his name? Only [...].
Only the church which bears his name and that is the church of Jesus Christ of the latter days. It is based on revelation. The church had to be re-founded because a [ refuse had found it]. (Is he trying to say it was restored because there was a falling away)? The gospel was restored to fulness by a man whom Heavenly Father had made [...]and that was Joseph Smith, who sealed his testimony with his blood.
Why shouldn't the father reveal himself to people now? He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He will recognize only one Church. I thank the Lord every day on my knees for giving me the knowledge and all the blessings we receive from you every day. We are not perfect, we all have our weaknesses and we need to be humble and set a good example for those around us. We have all our trials, the lord is testing us in our faith. Sometimes we cannot understand it, especially when we are sick. We can't complain about our age. So far I'm still busy with work at home, I also go to the temple 2 days a week, which is a great blessing. I wish I could have a chat with you guys about this. Then I also help out the children. Fritz is also pretty good with his health, you have to do everything easy, the age is noticeable, we can't deny that. I'm glad that things are still going well for you. Yes, as you write, dear Alma, you cast all your worries on him. He cares for us. May the lord give us all strength to endure to the end.
Dear Kurt, did you ever hear if Alla Schwerz is still alive? She must be your age. I haven't heard anything from [Lauter] since cousin Else died. As far as I can see, [the sheet] is almost over, forgive the many mistakes, so much writing makes me nervous. One more thing, did you hear from Inge?
