If you haven't had the opportunity to have a one on one Spiritual experience with us and allow us to find opportunities for your tree please let us know and we can get that scheduled.
There is a new page that directs the Temple and Family History Leader to his calling. It is excellent!
https://www.familysearch.org/calling/?page=1
Our Newsletter will be discussing Handbook2 and some of the new changes with ideas on how we can assist you. Your Primary has a big job to do - as their 10-year-olds go in when they are 11, some may turn 11 in the first 3 months - We have added a tool that will help you Primary Presidencies keep on top of who has been trained and what they have been trained on so the YW/YM will know the status at the handoff. Each column says YES (HE/SHE HAS BEEN TRAINED ON THIS), NO, SCHEDULED TO DO SO, MOVED.
We have attached a sample and the Excel workbook below. DOWNLOAD IT FIRST - THEN MAKE CHANGES - THANK YOU.

Our MAY Newsletter is up and running !
Exaltation is a Family Affair...Only through the
saving ordinances of the Gospel of Jesus Christ can the family be exalted." ~ President Russell M. Nelson
 |
| click for our newsletter |
President Russell M. Nelson and his wife, Sister Wendy Watson Nelson, extended a special challenge to Church members during the 2017 Family Discovery Day.
Quick disclaimer ;) The ideas expressed in our Newsletter mention Sharing Time. I understand that there no longer is Sharing time and as a former Chorister for 10 years in California that makes me sad because those were some great years of my life. However, that being said, please take these ideas and apply them however they fit into your Primary. All of the handouts are in the Word Format and can be changed to read however you would like. Use your imagination and just help the kids with whatever time you have to learn Family History. That is what President Nelson wants. That is what we should figure out how to do. We just try our best to come up with ideas that will be easy for you - if we failed this time, we will try again. Our job is to come up with ideas for you - if our ideas cause you to think of something even better, that's beautiful!
Until next month,
Ted and Karen Meyer
“I invite you to prayerfully consider what kind of sacrifice—and preferably a sacrifice of time—you can make to do more family history and temple work this year,” said President Nelson, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
President and Sister Oaks stressed the importance of working with Primary Age children on family History

What every Consultant needs to know...
Some misunderstandings came as a result of the January 15 memo but it looks like everything worked out great! The new plans based on the size of the wards are in action and many have chosen the plan #4 to have a Temple and Family History Leader. This is the person who is under the Elder's Quorum Counselor over Family History. He needs to be a Melchizedek Priesthood holder and should be trained by the Elder's Quorum Counselor.
If anyone needs help, we are always here to help you with the training of any person called to Family HIstory.
We really enjoyed last night with the Desert Mountain Family HIstory Team along with the Ward Missionaries and Elder's Quorum President. They have really taken the Spirit of Elijah and run with it! Their Primary is going to be trained so well!
We are excited to show others the plan we have for Primary Consultants. They need to be prepared in that one year from 10 to 11 then they are off and running to Young Women or Young Men. Let's help them learn the genealogy standards and how to find, reserve and print a name before they move forward.

Primary Family History Training
We were going to put this in our newsletter and still should. It's so important. I can't tell you the number of people who did not start training the youth last year when the prophet asked them to because they just didn't know where to start.
We have taken the guesswork out of it and given you a way to train the young ones, give them an opportunity to share for sharing time what they have learned, and earn a certificate. All you have to do is go through it with them and help them learn it. We call it Primarily Primary Training for Family History.
Have your Consultant teach the ones who are ready to graduate the Consultant Planner and Access. The younger ones should start with fun apps. I will upload our deck called Primary Goals which will help you as a leader as well as help you with your family history as you learn right along with them how to analyze a tree for optimal success and mend the dead ends.
I leave you with the Spirit of Elijah alive and well in our hearts. We hope this is of benefit to you. Would appreciate your feedback in the FAMILYSEARCH.ORG - HELP - COMMUNITY - TEMPLE AND FAMILY HISTORY CONSULTANT GROUP AS WELL AS THE STAKE TEMPLE AND FAMILY HISTORY CONSULTANT GROUP.
As we continue to learn more state of the art ways to improve your skills, always remember that no technology can replace the power of prayer. These spirits want to be found. They love you and are grateful to you for helping them and helping the young children learn how to do this work. Family History is not just for old folks - that was an ugly
rumor!

This is a great article - I hope you enjoy it! Our Grandpa used to say, when we would visit, "Find any horse thieves in the bunch?" I am trying to teach consultants to have this attitude - to report the good and the bad without judgment or emotion. It's just a fact; choices which were made, no judgment on our part. Perhaps if we were more open in years past about our family's choices, our younger generations would have a more discerning eye towards choice and accountability. Learning from our ancestors is one reason why Spencer W. Kimball, about journal keeping, "DO IT!" - Thank you for this article. I'd like to add your reference to our Area newsletter.

APRIL 2019 NASW NEWSLETTER by TedKarenMeyer
In our newsletter this month, we cover a lot of ground. From 1890 census data lost to help for Consultants and a special article about a Stake which is truly capturing the Spirit of Elijah in Family History Work. Their consultants, Sr. Karla Houston, and Sr. Marianne Mckay-cox came to the Camelback Stake Center on a Mission from their Bishop to work on a plan for their Ward! It was truly a lovely experience for us. We love it when Consultants are proactive in searching for the Spirit of Elijah

Ministering with Family History - touching hearts one family at a time.
Ministering with Family History
I often feel close to the spirit when I am helping others find their families. I hope they are as grateful as I feel for the opportunity to learn more about those special people. For all of those whom I have helped, thank you. You have enriched my life by allowing me to serve you.
This is such a great idea to minister to other families and work on healing broken feelings.
I did get the audio to work -yea! Hope you enjoy this - feel free to show it in your meetings.
