Family History

My lesson today, my talk last week, and my lesson next week all center around temple/family history work. This afternoon I was reading in Grandma and Grandad's Book of Remembrance. I have only gotten through Grandad's part so far and have already learned a lot about him. For example, did you know he was only 13 when his mom died? Did you know he was baptized in the tabernacle? Did you know when he worked at the University of Utah for his dad he did odds and ends around the campus one of those odds and ends was being a personal driver for the president of the campus: John A. Widstoe? And did you know as a young boy he often had assignments at church to help out when his dad was Bishop and one of those jobs was pumping the church organ? He said his arm really hurt after doing it each time.

As I have been studying for my lessons/talk I have really gained a better understanding of not only the importance of family history work but also the importance of getting know our ancestors know so we can know them when we see them again.

If you haven't seen the Book of Remembrance yet, Kim has it posted on her blog here.
