Family History is amazing.
Last semester, Heather (my wonderful roommate) and I took a Family History class at BYU.
It was amazing.
At first I was like... really, Heather? That sounds boring and it's for old people who have time.
I didn't see it as important.
But I took the class anyway, grudgingly.
And it became my favorite class very quickly :)
I really loved the things I learned. I had never really put much thought into Family History and why it's so important, and what part it plays in the church.
I put it to the side as something nice to do when I'm old.
Boy was I so wrong.
In this class, I learned just how central Family History work is to the gospel, the temple, and to our own salvation!
We CANNOT be saved without our dead
We CANNOT go to the celestial kingdom on our own, we go as families.
That was very humbling to little prideful, selfish me.
We learned that Eternal Life is an inheritance. And if our ancestors aren't given it, who do we "inherit" from?
It is SO very important, but so discouraging sometimes.
It's very difficult but I know with the spirit we can find things that we wouldn't be able to normally.
I truly have a testimony of Family History work. There is so much to do and so little time to do it.
We need EVERYONE's help in this work.
