How about this one:
Or her:
I'll give you a clue. You're related to each one of them.
Most of you probably recognized at least some of them. They're your great-grandparents and they're pretty special people. They love you and so do I. So do your other ancestors.
In General Conference last October, Elder David A Bednar said, "I now invite the attention of the young women, young men, and children of the rising generation." That means he was speaking to each of YOU.
He said, "You are sons and daughters of God, children of the covenant, and builders of the kingdom." Then he invited you to begin doing family history work, even though you are young.
He said:"I invite the young people of the Church to learn about and experience the Spirit of Elijah [by doing family history]. I encourage you to study, to search out your
, and to prepare yourselves to perform proxy baptisms in the house of the Lord for your kindred dead."Any young person can do what I am suggesting, using the modules available at lds.org./familyhistoryyouth." This link will take you a step-by-step guide and you can get started easily.
Elder Bednar made some promises to those who do family history. Here are a few of the promises:
**Your testimony of and conversion to the Savior will become deep and abiding.
**You will be protected against the intensifying influence of the adversary.
**You will be safeguarded in your youth and throughout your lives.
And then he spoke to the adults:
"Parents and leaders, you will stand all amazed at how rapidly your children and the youth of the Church become highly skilled with these tools. In fact, you will learn valuable lessons from these young people about effectively using these resources. You also will count your many blessings as young people devote more time to family history work and temple service and less time to video games, surfing the Internet, and Facebooking."
