November NASW Family History Newsletter

 

The brethren are asking us to send them info on these areas:

1) looking for testimonies of faith from doing yout family history work.  They would like to do some videos about family history.

2) They would like to know which wards and Stakes are trying to follow Elder Ballard's request to organize your Family History from the Stake down with the President calling men to hold positions in a Melchezidek Priesthood Committee representing all wards.

Please send us an email so that we can organize a report for them.  naswfamilyhistory@gmail.com

ZOOM MEETING 11-14-20

POWERPOINT FOR TRAINING OTHERS

PDF WITH ACTIVE LINKS

Thanks to all of you who participated in last month's zoom about Partner Access.  There are so many who still do not know what this is or how is can benefit the members.  We hope you will go back and check our previous blog to refresh your memory so that you can train others how to do this great work.

This Month's ZOOM Meeting will be all about helping Families making Family Night more interesting with the underlying motivation of keeping the kids engaged to WANT to learn more about

1) their Ancestors

2) How to appreciate their living Ancestors

3) games that teach about family history

4) all the above in concert with the goal of helping 11-year-olds (whether it is your own or your grandchild), get ready for YW and YM.

As we know, every January marks the graduation from primary for all eleven-year-olds who will be turning 12 in the year 2021.  

This link to our November Family History Newsletter will peak your interest and get you primed for a great Zoom meeting on Saturday, November 14, 2020 at 5 PM ARIZONA TIME
