Translation of History Written by Great Grandmother
I would most appreciate translating the attached document. It is a history that my great grandmother wrote in old German script. The history is four pages, each as a separate attachment.
Many thanks for any help!

My curriculum vitae
I was born on April 10, 1866. I was small and grew and became larger in my parents' home. My parents took care of me and raised me in their love. I went to school from the age of 7 until the age of 14, when I was confirmed. I stayed in my parents' house, worked there and learned the housekeeping until I was 20 years old. That is the most carefree time that one has lived and was allowed to live in the parental home, one has no worries, no responsibility. And so we could be grateful that we were allowed to enjoy this. My parents also raised me to fear God and to be virtuous. I got married at the age of 20, on April 27, 1866. Even in this time one can have love and joy, but worries and responsibilities already arise. The greatest gift and joy is when one is given children, I have carried them with reverence under my heart, and have always said to myself, children are a gift from God. And the most innocent joy is to grow up and live with the little children, you can say it is the Kingdom of Heaven, and you feel yourself pure and innocent. When the oldest child was 6 years old, I had given birth to 8 children. You have to say to yourself, you were in the Kingdom of Heaven. I gave birth to 12 children in total. We always had love and joy for the children. Some small children went home, also 2 bigger sons as men. It has also been fate in marriage, but my Heavenly Father has always been my refuge
and shall remain so until all eternity. I have always told him everything, handed over everything to him, and God our heavenly Father has given me strength, courage and comfort in everything. And of all the children we still have now, we enjoy only love and joy from them. So we see that having children is a great grace and a great gift from our dear Heavenly Father, and so we can never be grateful enough for all the goodness and love we have always received from God our Heavenly Father. The marriage itself has flown by as if it were a moment. But the beautiful years have passed. My husband took it all too easily, there was a lack of honesty and sincerity, I do not want to accuse anyone, maybe I should have shouted where I was silent, maybe then had come another thinking, and in itself the reflection. I could not speak only in me everything g__ and cried. What one should forget, one should not write. But when the thoughts come it hurts up to the soul, since one gives himself so trustingly, and one has then such disappointments, when only love is to be secured, that can have been nevertheless no genuine love, when everything is forgotten so fast, that hurts so and hurts, when one believed so childlike, when by large indifference and superficiality one is nevertheless deceived. All this still hurts and does not stop aching when you think you had been able to live the marriage anyway sacred in respect and
love. It had been only joy, in all circumstances. Our heavenly Father always stood by us and helped us. With all our mistakes ____? and our own fault, our dear Heavenly Father has always been so gracious, we have always received and enjoyed only God's great grace, love, kindness and mercy. It has also been love, we have lived like this, but the right core has been missing. Until I threw everything away three years ago, rejected it, I always didn't want it to be like this, but it always comes to my mind, then I first felt how a marriage can be lived like this, the most sacred good of people, I always had to think, I tell myself year, day and night and often I often have to think. I am not indifferent and superficial, I am so much attached to it, I never want it, I never want his love. Our heavenly Father asks us to forgive, that is easy, yes we should also forget, that is more difficult, it always comes to mind. But now, with God's strength and help, I have resolved to forget in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. In 1907, Elder August Mayer? came to us with tracts, we got to know the Gospel, we took the teachings to heart, we spent blessed hours with all the elders, our heavenly Father gave us knowledge
also a testimony of the truth and authenticity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and that it is the Word of God, and we were grateful to our Heavenly Father for what He gave us, and that the elders came to us and brought us the message. My daughter Clara, daughter Margareta and I were baptized in the Baltic Sea on March 8, 1908 by Elder Coye. And we received the confirmation on the beach and we were accepted as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My husband and I migrated from Germany on November 21, 1926 and arrived in Salt Lake City on December 7, 1926.
Even that we are here we have only ever received and enjoyed God's great grace, love, kindness and mercy, and thanked our dear Heavenly Father __ for always His great love and kindness for us.
