We Have The Covenant Responsibility To Search Out Our Ancestors

Mesa Arizona Temple - Stuart L. Gardner Photography

"The Spirit of Elijah affects people inside and outside of the Church. However, as members of Christ’s restored Church, we have the covenant responsibility to search out our ancestors and provide for them the saving ordinances of the gospel. “They without us should not be made perfect” (Hebrews 11:40; see also Teachings: Joseph Smith, 475). And “neither can we without our dead be made perfect” (D&C 128:15).  For these reasons we do family history research, build temples, and perform vicarious ordinances. For these reasons Elijah was sent to restore the sealing authority that binds on earth and in heaven. We are the Lord’s agents in the work of salvation and exaltation that will prevent “the whole earth [from being] smitten with a curse” (D&C 110:15) when He returns again. This is our duty and great blessing." 

- Elder David A. Bednar, The Hearts of the Children Shall Turn, General Conference, October 2011.

Memory Jogger Monday - April 18

When all is said and done, what do you want to be remembered for? What would you like your legacy to be? What are you doing now to make that happen?

I would like to be remembered as the "Family Gatherer".

I love finding cousins and putting families, long separated, together. I am a reunion organizer, family party planner, family history researcher and I serve my ancestors and relatives by providing them essential temple ordinances.

Sometimes, even just putting a family all together in FamilySearch Family Tree brings so much peace. There is comfort in knowing that they are all together in one central place.

I would hope that I will be remembered for making connections and bringing people together.
