Finding Joy in Temple and Family History Work

This lesson discusses ways we can participate in temple and family history work. As we participate in this work, we gain a greater understanding of what it means to be part of an eternal family. Our hearts turn to our ancestors, their hearts turn to us, and the hearts of parents and children turn to one another. In our previous lesson, we discussed temple attendance and performance of priesthood ordinances for loved ones. In this lesson we review other ways in which we can expand our participation in temple and family history activities to benefit ourselves and others.
OVERVIEW:
- The Spirit of Elijah is prompting people to turn their hearts to their ancestors.
- Each member of the Church can participate in temple and family history work.
- The Church provides many resources to help us participate in temple and family history work.
Here is the handout for this week’s lesson: D&C-Church History Lesson 40.
