This entire article made me smile. First, I am beyond thrilled about the church history videos. I can’t wait to see them. Second, you had me at family history. Most people feel a need to connect, and you are providing the perfect way.

I was impressed about this last article on the impact family history can have if missionaries use it when talking to people. Is there a way we can send only that article to someone by email without sending the whole magazine?

I’ve been teaching with the BYU China Teacher program this last year. I taught lessons about family history, without any mention of church, but could share the Family Seach site. I was pleased when some students tried it and used it for their English Family History Presentations!

My son and I have had amazing success finding missing fathers using ancestors.com dna. We have solved this problem for at least 20 people including my grandfather who died in 1970 not knowing either of his parents

We have been working on placing such a program in our stake. Missionary work and Family History go hand in hand; they are one work!
Thank you!

One month after I joined our Church in 1974, I received my Patriarchal Blessing. It told me there was great rejoicing in heaven, that I had come to know this Church is true. It said I have the great privilege and responsibility of seeing that temple work is done for my ancestors. I began to do that immediately, and now, fifty years later, and living ten minutes from a Temple, I go every week, and never run out of names.
I am thrilled that the Proctors are using Family History in their mission.
I have connected with distant cousins (my husband's and mine) and shared information about our families. I seldom make the connection between Family History and our Church with these cousins. Hearing the Proctors' stories has motivated me to try harder to share the joy of the restored Gospel and Forever Families with these cousins. Praying they will find this joy too.
Thank you, Scot and Maureen, for serving a mission, for tying Family History and missionary work together, and for sharing your insights with us.
Sincerely, Sister Susan Zimmerman D'Andrea

How and when can we access the new docs about Joseph Smith?
Please let all your readers know.
Have loved your podcasts since the beginning of the pandemic.
Can you send me a list of the scriptures you think everyone should memorize? Thank you.

Maurine and Scott, I think this is just an amazing incredible opportunity for us all to come and know and love the prophet Joseph more. I cannot wait to see what you are putting together. The only thing I would love more is if I had been able to travel with you there to these places as you share him and the events that occurred. I am in Nauvoo for the summer doing the same thing sharing the prophet Joseph as much as I can telling his stories and sharing his dreams and visions and gift to the world. Looks like we’re doing similar things because we feel the prompting of the Lord to do so . Thank you for all your doing. I miss you guys so much.

I love reading about your missionary experiences. I think family history touches people on a level they haven't experienced before. And I can't wait to see your Joseph Smith series. You are doing great work!
