The Roots of Family History

In the article "The Roots of Family History", Elder D. Todd Christopherson starts off by telling us how much more easier and faster family history is for us today. We didn't always have the Internet and the speed it brings us to whatever we want. We should probably take advantage of this technology and do our family history work. He later on explains "it is vital that we maintain a firm doctrinal foundation in family history. Otherwise, we might focus only on tools and techniques and become simply hobbyists." Some people do their family history work, but don't really get into it. We must be led by the spirit so that we may learn more about our family and we also may be guided in the right direction. I love how he also states that the most important relationship we have to establish is the one between us and our heavenly father. He knows us best, and he will help us in our times of trouble. Heavenly Father has a great plan for us, but we will only be blessed with it as long as we keep his commandments.
