I am taking an online class from BYU-I in Family History. As part of the class I will be using my blog to post some family history information.
I am so thankful that I found the Pathway program through BYU-I. It is truly an inspired program. I am able to go back to school after more than 13 years. This is my first semester with "real" classes after graduating from Pathways. I am nervous but excited to take some classes. I have chosen to take Intro to Family History because I want to find out more about my husbands family and do some temple work for them. I know that this work is so important. I am so excited to find his ancestors and try to find some stories about them so that I can share them with my children.
I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I love the temple and love the work that I can do for my ancestors here on earth, so that they can have a choice in the hereafter. The greatest gift that God has given to us is free agency, the gift to choose for ourselves. By doing Family History, I am, in a small way, giving that agency to my ancestors. I am giving them the choice to accept the ordinances that I do for them, or to reject them. Either way, I will have done my part.
I am greatfull for the
