Has anyone done family history? It's apparently one of the most popular hobbies on the Internet. It's part of turning the hearts of the fathers to the children and hearts of the children to the fathers, (the promise of Elijah). http://scriptures.lds.org/mal/4/6#6 The final words of the last Prophet of the Old Testament. Elijah came in 1836, and though we've been announcing it, people don't believe us. http://scriptures.lds.org/query?words=elijah+kirtland&search.x=29&search.y=11
We have Internet, and the Internet may be what keeps us from wasting the earth, according to Mal.4. We hear a lot about porn on the Internet, but family history, on the other side may just tip the scale and avoid the curse that will come unless the hearts are turned.Has anyone ever thought of it? I didn't think so, but this was our lesson at church today, and I just wanted to throw it out there and see if anyone wanted to talk about it. If you know the names and birth dates or places of your parents and grandparents, the church will research and print you a book of your own family history free of charge. They just announced it.
