Using Family History to assist our Full time Missionaries

Michael A Woods

One of the booklets the missionaries have at their disposal in Preach My Gospel is "Temples and Families". This is the one that many don't seem to study as much, but it has good ideas for them to use in teaching their investigators about Family History. If you also teach the Sisters on how to better find their ancestors via Zoom and connect to their Family Trees, they will gain a testimony about loving their ancestors and will be better able to teach their investigators by the Spirit and from their hearts. 2 hours of training for the missionaries should get them far enough along to help the investigators.

We taught about 80 missionaries and 2 Mission President's wives during our mission, with great success. The Mission President allowed them an hour a week to work on their FH, after being trained, and they had much better success in teaching those who needed a FH boost to become more interested in learning about the gospel.

I wish you success in helping these sisters.
