I want you all to have a FAMILY HISTORY Album...
File...or whatever you wish to have and
build upon it with your ancestors.
The Lord Has Trusted Us to Redeem the Dead
---------------------------------------------------
"[The Lord] has trusted you by letting you hear the gospel in
your lifetime, giving you the chance to accept the obligation to offer it
to those of your ancestors who did not have your priceless opportunity.
Think of the gratitude He has for those who pay the price in work and faith
to find the names of their ancestors and who love them and Him enough to
offer them eternal life in families, the greatest of all the gifts of God.
He offered them an infinite sacrifice. He will love and appreciate those
who paid whatever price they could to allow their ancestors to choose His
offer of eternal life."
Topics: ancestors, family history, eternal
life, temples

I wanted you all to have copies of the pictures of my parents -
one little pictures, I believe, taken BEFORE they were married...
Newspaper clippings of their announcements: engagement and wedding...
All the originals are in my possession. These are rare...for I believe, I
am the only one who has "originals"...
