Enjoy the Journey
“Those of you who have worked at your genealogies, who realize the importance of the work and have felt the excitement that comes from tying families together and learning of your noble heritage, need to share that excitement with others. Help them to see the joy and fulfillment you see in the work. There is much to be done, as you all know, and there are many, many members who could do the work and who would enjoy doing the work if some of us—all of you—would just ignite that spark in them through your enthusiasm, example, and devotion.” (Ezra Taft Benson, Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 162)

Why Do We Do Family History?
• For some, the experience is like Laman and Lemuel returning for the brass plates --- arduous and unpleasant.
• Many LDS members say: “We do family history because we should, because it is right.”
• For others, it is an adventure because they enjoy the journey.

Change of Heart – Spirit of Elijah
• Journey lovers often entice the unconverted by doing their research for them.
• The indifferent find one or two tidbits interesting, but their eyes soon glaze over.
• They may be grateful, but their heart has not been changed.

How do we Help Others Feel the Joy?
• The pleasure comes from putting forth effort and eventually having success.
• Teach them how to fish. It will taste better than the fully cooked fish on a platter.
