Our LAST Zoom and our new adventures...

 



Our Last Zoom as Area Advisers

Last night was a tough one.  Emotionally, we cracked a little.  The spirit was so strong and the feelings of gratitude for this calling as Area Advisers to all our Stake Presidencies in the field of Family History were so thick in the room, we could hardly breathe, much less go ahead with the lesson - which was - 


"Putting Christ First in your Temple Worship"

So, we hope that marvelous lesson will encourage you to help people on both sides of the veil, meaning...

1) Your relatives here on earth right now need to have their voices, images, and stories captured for their  posterity.  You can verify the stories later by producing any documents from their timeline.  Then upload what you have found to your Memories section of that person.  When you tag them and other family members, you will share precious insights into your family's history.

2) Your ancestors on the other side....past the veil...or those in heaven are equally important.  Interview family members about their stories from these ancestors.  Document your findings in the Memories section.  

3) Take that member to the Temple.  Take the honor of being their first escort thru the Temple with loving seriousness.  You are preserving this person and saving them.

4) Realize that in capturing the honor of doing their work for them vicariously as their proxy is such a privilege - keep yourself worthy to keep going back over and over again with new honored guests of honor.

5)  Document your feelings and the story of your work so your children and grandchildren will realize one day the importance of what your are doing now.

We hope you will be happy in whatever you do in the future.  We are so grateful for this calling, you'll see in the video, sometimes we were absolutely speechless for the spirit was affecting us so much for the good we have experienced.  Sorry we are such saps, but the evening, nevertheless, was grand!

Thank you!  We are excited to find out what our next Adventure the Lord has for us. and this will be our new blog:  Meyerandmeyerconsulting.blogspot.com

ZOOM FROM LAST NIGHT

PDF FROM LAST NIGHT

POWERPOINT SO YOU CAN TEACH THIS TO YOUR WARD


handouts - How many Consultants do you need in your ward?  Which positions are "called" by your Bishop and which are "Assignments" made by the Elders' quorum President and Relief Society President?

It's important to remember to interpret the handbook properly - The Bishop is the only one in the ward who can extend a calling like this.  The RS and EQ can watch for and report who would be a good candidate for a calling, but the Bishop prayerfully is inspired.



THOSE W/ FAMILY HISTORY CALLINGS WILL BE ABLE TO DO THIS:

CLICK on this magical link - no matter what ward you are in, it will tell you the opportunities of ordinances by Ward member.  Then go to Helper Resource and send the ward member an invitation to review their tree.

SEARCH TECHNIQUES YOU MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN...


Now this isn’t a 120% proven method by Learn more about your own family by
1) google the town they came from see if they are mentioned in the notes for town meetings
(1)pick town meeting notes+year), church meetings,
2) pick compiled census data+town)
Family burial plots
3) (pick headstone+town+year+last name)
4) learn about local history
(Pick town + year)
5) stories
Log in with free family search account
For stories and paintings prior to cameras and computers
(Pick images.google.com then type family last name and the town and/or year.
(Pick year in question, pick town)
I’m adding a possible activity for November. There is an Arts and crafts fair being held at the Mesa history museum. Might be a fun family field trip if someone has gotten an “I -love-my-family’s-journey-to- the- USA” bug and t something on a site, newspaper or blogs , it will find it. After all, what we do is the 3 largest hobbyist activity in the world.
