This afternoon the three musketeers jumped on our motorcycles
and drove to our monthly genealogy class with other friends
in our church branch congregation.
Lottie will begin attending and serving in the temple next year
and we wanted to help her learn about some
of her amazing ancestors and read stories about them so she can connect
her service to them, which is a big part of what the temple is all about.
We set her up her own account on familysearch.com and discovered
that she is the 9th cousin, twice removed from the Princess of Wales,
along with Emily Dickinson, Walt Disney, and Abraham Lincoln.
That was really fun to read,
but it's even more meaningful to connect with our grandparents
who have lived steady and consistent lives following the Savior
and turning their lives over to Him and His service.
I feel so thankful to be from such an incredible heritage.
So many wonderful people sacrificing and living to keep
families connected.
