Here I am sitting on a computer at the Family History Center in little old Delta looking up family history. Tonight, for young women's, we all drove down from Oak City to look up our Ancestors and see if we could do any temple work on them.
Last time we were here my mother and I didn't have any luck at all. I get being technologically impaired from my mother. (Don't believe me read the blog before this one...though that time wasn't my fault) Computers just don't seem to get along with us. But this time we were determined to get some work done and find our ancestors.
Rose Marie, an expert at family history, search, and temple work came with our ward, and boy did she help. My mom and I found all sorts of names and work we get to do. Now I usually keep religion out of my blog, just because there are enough blogs about religion out there, but I have to say, I hope I can bring these names to the temple with my family and get them done. I want my family to feel the amazing feeling that I felt when I went with Rose's family and did names she had looked up.
I was dating Joseph Travis (Rose's son), and one of the things that I most remember about being with him was going to the temple with his family and doing baptisms for names that Rose had found on new.familysearch.org. It was an amazing experience. The feeling you get when you do the names you've found is so much different. So much more amazing and reverent. More than anything else, that is the biggest thing that has ever built my testimony, and I am very grateful that I got the experience to go.
