Temple and Family History
Thanks to all of those who helped schedule, attend and make our sealing sessions at the temple on 4/25 a success! On the temple ordinance front, we exceeded our goals for Baptisms (> 1000), Family History Visits (>40), and sealings (>300). A big "Thank You" to the youth, their families, and leaders and to everyone! We still have work to do on Endowments and Initiatory. There are many who have asked that the charts remain up so ordinances can continue to be anonymously recorded. That will likely happen so keep an eye out.
The next ward temple day will be Wednesday May 7th.
Please remember that the Granite FamilySearch Center (2720 E. Newcastle Drive) is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 am. to 5:00 p.m. and then again from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. It is also open on Sundays from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Granite FamilySearch Center has an impressive variety of equipment to digitize audio tapes (reel-to-reel, cassette), film (8mm and Super 8), video (many formats), slides, etc. Of course there are loads of computers there as well. The consultants are very helpful and knowledgeable!
Please send me (kmpris@gmail.com, 801-201-6181) or our Family History consultants an email or text if you would like some one-on-one help with Family History. Consultants are listed in the Tools app under Organizations/Temple and Family History. There are many names there, probably someone you know. If we can't help you, we can find someone who can.
