(7) - (response to Bednar) Taking Pride In My Roots Part 2

This past Sunday in my singles ward we heard an excellent talk by our stake president. I don't know why it impacted me so hard but it had a great effect in my heart. He stood up and presented a familiar topic. He addressed the importance of family history and how we need to get more involved. It was neat because he made an interesting remark, he asked us who is going to tell our ancestors stories to our children of we ourselves don't know them? It hit me hard that I need to get more involved in family history. In fact his topic tied back into what Elder Bednar said respectively. How it is necessary to do family history to unite our families. We truly can't know where we're going until we know where we're from! This talk inspired in me the need to get onto familysearch.com and start researching names and not just that, but rather prepare those names to bring them to the temple. He thought of that really inspired me and initiated an excitement in my soul! The spirit definitely was speaking to me and testifying of the truthfulness of this principal! I'm excited to start working more in this and I know that it will bless my life more than I can imagine!
