It's almost been a year since the Prophet asked us...


Sign up for our Newsletter - http://eepurl.com/cZDKYn


Scottsdale Coordinating Council - You are amazing!
We have almost accomplished EVERYTHING that was asked of us!
There's just one more item...
It's almost been a year since the Prophet asked us to work with the 11-12 year olds...

 What have we done? Our Stakes have been doing an excellent job!  You are all running as fast as you can!

     We've had a year packed with changes in Family History and have trained the Elders Quorum Leaders, their Counselors over Temple and Family History, and then there is the new Temple and Family History Leader that we needed to train in the Stakes where the Wards opted to use that method.


STAKE LEADS, WARD LEADS, CONSULTANTS

     Our Stake Leads have been working hard to have each ward send a TFHC to work one night per month from each Ward to the Stake Library.  The Stake Leads have also been working to train the Ward Leads and Temple and Family History Consultants on the one-on-one, spirit led, personalized family history experience.  TFHCs are going out with the Full Time Missionaries and working with people who are being taught.  They are helping them gather names for a fan chart and visiting the Stake Center to enter names in their own FREE account!   They are partnering with ministering sisters and brothers to make sure converts get to the Temple within 60 days!  They have been using our training decks and cheat sheets to allay the anxieties of the new consultants using the non-manual preferred method of the First Presidency.

YOUNG ADULTS inviting Non Members to join in!   

 Our Young Adults are planning inclusive fun Activities, like Family History Escape Rooms and utilizing Family History Games to spark interest in the young adults' families.  They are infusing fun into Family History!

  OUR YOUTH ARE MINISTERING TO THE ELDERLY AND GETTING FAMILY HISTORY DONE!  

 Our Youth have been going out in pairs with invitations and cookies to invite our  Elite Singles and Older Sisters/Brothers to work together in partnership, thereby getting to appreciate the older generation for their gifts and hard work lessons that they impart to the youth while working  with them.  Working to include older sisters and brothers by calling them and offering to work with them one on one in their homes has been found to be helpful and invigorating to both.  The youth have also increased their numbers by learning how to log in with their own login and password and reserving and printing their own names from the accounts.  That makes your Stake numbers swell and tells the Prophet that you are getting it done!  Well Done!

RELIEF SOCIETY, ELDERS QUORUM AND MISSION LEADERS  

   Our Relief Society and Elders Quorum Presidencies are working more with the Mission President and  Ward Mission Leaders.  As new people being taught are welcomed into the fold, these great people are making sure that they are loved and friend-shipped.  The Consultant assigned by the Ward Lead to work with that person also works with someone the Relief Society Counselor or Elders Quorum Counselor assigns to minister to that person.  The three work in partnership  to make sure that the new convert goes to the Temple within 60 days with their own names!

PRIMARY LEADERS 
It's your turn to shine!
if you are over the 11-12 year olds, you have been encouraging them to do as the Prophet asked!

They are getting help from a Temple and Family History consultant learning the Consultant Planner and Partner Access.  They have their very own accounts and are able to reserve names shown to them in the Planner and they can hand them to their Parents to do until they become 12 and can go with the Youth to do the Baptisms.

We are so proud of the strides you have made this year!

Keep up the good work

Teaching 11-12 year olds how to do Family History?

How to teach 11-12 year olds
how to do Family history... 



Family History is the third most popular hobby on the planet.  The first is video games.  How to we shift the paradigm from one to another?  This article will address points that may help your child to avoid some temptations of the Adversary.  If kids use their time wisely, they can avoid, temptations from friends, sex, drugs, alcohol.  Immersing themselves into Family History becomes a useful and creative outlet for a chance for a successful adult life.

We have been promised


  • Elder Dale G. Renlund: “I extend the promise of protection that’s been offered in the past. . . . I promise you protection for you and your family as you take this challenge to find as many names to take to the temple as ordinances you perform in the temple, and teach others to do the same. . . . If you accept this challenge, blessings will begin to flow to you and your family. . . . You’ll find not only protection from the temptations and ills of this world, but you’ll also find personal power, power to change, power to repent, power to learn, power to be sanctified, and power to turn the hearts of your family together and heal that which needs healing.”

  • Elder Richard G. Scott: “Do you young people want a sure way to eliminate the influence of the adversary in your life? Immerse yourself in searching for your ancestors, prepare their names for the sacred vicarious ordinances available in the temple, and then go to the temple to stand as proxy for them.”

  • Elder Quentin L. Cook: “If the youth in each ward will not only go to the temple and do baptisms for their dead but also work with their families and other ward members to provide the family names for the ordinance work they perform, both they and the Church will be greatly blessed.”

  • Elder Russell M. Nelson: “Consider the spiritual connections that are formed when a young woman helps her grandmother enter family information into a computer. . . . When our hearts turn to our ancestors, something changes inside us. We feel part of something greater than ourselves.”

  • Elder David A. Bednar: “I encourage you to study, to search out your ancestors, and to prepare yourselves to perform proxy baptisms in the house of the Lord for your kindred dead. . . .
    “As you respond in faith to this invitation, your hearts shall turn to the fathers. . . . And I promise you will be protected against the intensifying influence of the adversary. As you participate in and love this holy work, you will be safeguarded in your youth and throughout your lives.”




If you are in a Primary Presidency, Beehive Advisor, or Deacon Advisor, or teachers over each class, this next video will help you.  This trains the trainer on how to get kids interest using tools that they can relate to:



When you show this video to kids, they will learn about the apps that will help them graduate to the Consultant Planner. 

We can help you if you are in the Scottsdale Coordinating Council, by visiting your meeting of the Leadership and providing training to help your children.

 Imagine youself watching a worthy young person go off on a mission, one comes home, falls in love and is sealed for Time and All Eternity.  
Now imagine yourself changing a baby's diaper.  You did plenty of these in your life, but now it's your grandchild.  The mother is trying to get off drugs and alcohol and lives with you so you can help with the child.  

What if they played clean video games like Geneapardy, Compare-a-Face, and Kinpoint which teaches them a little bit on how to use a fan chart.

I made my LDS novels free or .99 (ebooks) on Amazon for this purpose.  To me, it's important that they have free, clean books to read and games to play.  

Please let us know if you enjoyed this and if we can help you further.   text to:  480 262 3525

When you train someone, sometimes they are overwhelmed and won't feel like they can remember or do a 1 on 1 visit with a ward member without a big manual.  I have attached our CHEAT SHEET, which till help clarify and  teach you the things we need to teach the kids
