Family History

Our group of young single adults cares about our family history.  While family history is mostly a family thing, being in a congregation of young single adults gives us the special opportunity to know lots of people who are tech savvy and we can help each other out as we try to find information about our ancestors online.



Ultimately, we do family history so that people who died without the Gospel of Jesus Christ can enjoy the blessings we receive from the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  In True to the Faith, a book produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it explains: "Many in the spirit world embrace the gospel. However, they cannot receive priesthood ordinances for themselves because they do not have physical bodies. In holy temples, we have the privilege of receiving ordinances in their behalf."



By living the Gospel of Jesus Christ (making and keeping promises with God), I have been able to progress and become better than I used to be.  I am filled with hope by knowing what Jesus Christ has done to help me and others overcome sins and become more loving and pure people.  I want everybody to have the opportunity to enter into this wonderful gospel path, and doing family history helps us to give this opportunity to those who have passed on.  I believe that by following in this path, we can live with our families and with God after this life.
