A specialist

So I misunderstood what my calling was to be. I thought I was a stake family history consultant. Nope. The calling I've been given is the Stake Family History Specialist. Not a big difference, I think.

I recently helped my step-mother add two relatives to her family file. She had done a fair bit of research and found that two ancestors weren't on the church's records. We were able to easily add the research from her gedcom file, waited a few minutes, and the names were then on the records. No work had been done for the individuals, and she elected to do the work herself. We printed out the FOR (Family Ordinance Request) sheet, and she's ready to go to the temple. Just like that. The entire process took less than 15 minutes, and that includes the 5 minutes we had to wait for the church records to be updated. All online, done from the comfort of her study. Can it get more simple? I think not.

I'm prepared to answer any questions, help in any way, and if you're interested in becoming a consultant, please let me know and I'll see that the opportunity is availed to you.
