Dear Mom-
In Nauvoo I observed 2 things that had an impact on me.
- I caught a vision of the overwhelming task our Schultz Family History has been on yours and Dads hearts
- I saw how deeply it affects Dad to participate in his family having their work done in the Temple. (with a touch of giggles and inappropriateness)
- How quickly I wanted to finish "Ellin Hollenbech" so I didn't sing her Gwen Stefanish name always
So- that led me to my Schultz Service 2019 for YOU- our momma. I have started taking a more active approach in helping to do our Schultz Family History! Wow I have only scratched the surface. I too, now feel the amount of work to be done after only seeing a peek into it all.
But- after our trip with the grandkids to the Nauvoo temple, it sparked in me the desire to dive in to finding information and filling it in for Dad’s family names.
We started by printing and doing all the ordinances currently left in Dad’s family tree. Rock, Piper, Myles and I took a trip to do baptisms. It was Piper’s first time in the LA Temple and it was pretty special. From there it caught like wildfire. I printed the 300 page file Dad sent, and have been combing the green Albright book. I've been adding dates, connecting families, finding children. It's so thrilling and exciting. I had a nice trip to the Temple with Dad to do sealings. Between the cafeteria meatloaf and sealing Grandma Lena to her parents it was a very special day. So Merry Christmas! Your service actually has blessed me more than those serving. Our Ancestors and posterity! And especially helping you and Dad relieve that pressure. I love you. Love, Nan
