Friends and Family, I've caught something. It's like an itch that just won't go away...no matter how much or how deeply you scratch it. This itch is classified under the FamilySearch category, and it just won't leave me alone. Now you all know....I'm just insanely excited about family history work. One of my new years resolutions was to find at least one name that wasn't linked into my family line and link it there...I've found two! Now, what's two names to be excited about? It's true, I've only found two names that did not exist there before, but now TWO more people have the possibility of living with our Heavenly Father if they accept the temple work that I can now do for them. There's more, though. I was taught how to do something called descendancy research, and by doing this, I have found 158 names of people who have not yet had their temple work done in my family line--some very distantly related, and some not-so-distantly related. I like to imagine a wonderful group of spirits cheering me on as I spend the laborious hours on the FamilySearch website searching, merging, and adding. I like to imagine the smiles on their faces when their names are found, and their ordinances are requested and taken to the temple. I like to imagine the tears of joy streaming down their faces when they realize that they will be able to live with their family for the rest of eternity, and spend the rest of eternity in the presence of our Heavenly Father. I KNOW that there are millions upon millions of spirits waiting in the spirit world to receive their ordinances, and they can't do it for themselves. But there's happy news, WE CAN!!! Get involved. Find your family, find a greater faith, and find joy for those who can't find it for themselves. :)
