My husband was not a journal keeper, but he wrote his testimony in a small journal. You can believe that is a treasure.

Brother Gibbons your article comes at an interesting time. Yesterday I received an email from one of my missionary companions who is serving a temple mission in Chile. I have not seen or heard from him in 46 years. He was looking for information on one of our families we baptized. I fortunately had recorded this event and was able to forward it to him. I like many have been sporadic at best in keeping a journal. Your article has sparked in me a resolve to get busy and active again in journal keeping..
Thank you, Bob Cowart

I love all of your works - especially all your lesson helps and now this article about keeping records. Oh how I wish I had kept a daily journal of blessings that Heavenly Father has given me. I am going to try harder to keep a better record. Thank you so much.

Some years ago, I felt lost in life, although I 'd never lost my faith, I wish I could find myself again, and I found at my journals! I'd kept them since I was 18 years old, and all my thoughts and believes as a young girl and lately as a young mother rescued me from a severe depression!

Bro Grier,
My dad 48 when I was born, and he was not a great record keeper, but I have two small journals--one from his second mission and one from his experience in Europe during WW II.
But Mom saved all of his letters and papers and after he died, she and I got together and wrote his life story. I really learned to know and love my father from the things he had written and I am so grateful for them.

Great article-
I too wish my father left something of himself. He died my last year in college. I was just getting to know him as a person, instead of just "Dad'.
What was important to him, how did he feel about x, y, or z? How did his marriage change him?, . the birth of my sister and me? How did he escape the draft of WWII?
Sad to say my own records are "spotty" at best.
