Why should you do this and get started?
Elder Bednar promises these blessings for participating in family history work:
"As you respond in faith to this invitation, your hearts shall turn to the fathers. The promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be implanted in your hearts. Your patriarchal blessing, with its declaration of lineage, will link you to these fathers and be more meaningful to you. Your love and gratitude for your ancestors will increase. Your testimony of and conversion to the Savior will become deep and abiding. 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."
Wow! I love too, he says that it's no coincidence that we are here now on the earth. He says how our fingers that are trained to text and tweet is no accident and that these skills are a blessing that we can give in order to further the kingdom of God on earth. Way cool. Just sayin. So, this is why we should do it.
Go ahead, go read his talk. You know you want to feel ultra guilty as well. :)
Good Luck!
