Day in the Life

Transcript

On May 29, 1842 Wilford Woodruff spent the day doing baptisms for the dead with his family.  He wrote, 

“I was then Baptized under the hands of Elder G. A. Smith for & behalf of my Grand Father Eldad Woodruff & Grand Mother Dinah Woodruff” 

We have the great opportunity to connect with our ancestors on the other side of the veil. 

President Nelson has said “We can be inspired all day long about temple and family history experiences others have had. But we must do something to actually experience the joy ourselves.”

What can you do today to experience the joy of learning more about your ancestors?
