Family History Work Leads to Covenants



Last Sunday the missionaries spent a couple of hours doing Family History work.
Typing in names into their Family Tree brought big smiles to their faces!
Sister Stutz and Elder Stutz are on a full-time Family History Mission.  Sister Stutz helped Elder Yeboah add his family names to his family tree.

Those with previous experience were able to share their knowledge with those new to Family Search.  
Everyone got involved, both working on the computer, and helping others add names to their family tree of family members who have passed away.  Elder Osei had lost his mother right before he was baptized, and we were able to add his mother, and make it possible for her temple work to be completed!  
Sister Eyamo and Sister Ngindu are wanting to take their grandparent's names to the temple on Tuesday.
Elder Tibbitts is a great Family History coach, and spent countless hours helping missionaries get names temple ready for ordinance work for family members.  We had a deadline, and we saw first-hand a miracle unfold, as names for the temple, one by one, were prepared for tomorrow and the next day!
It is a great undertaking to get the right missionaries in the right van so bright and early in the morning!
Sister Gyiamfi and Sister Iyok were so happy to perform temple work for family members.
Soeur Bohoussou and Soeur Ounleu enjoy a few minutes on the temple grounds.
Elder Osei's mother passed away right before he was baptized in 2012.  As we worked together preparing his mother's name for the temple, he was so excited to find out that her work could be done on Wednesday when he goes to the temple. He asked me if I would do the work for his mother.  I was so honored to do this work for him.  Life does not get any better than to spend the day in the temple with our missionaries!

In the last two days, the missionaries were able to bring many family names to the Accra, Ghana temple.

Initiatories for Family Members        42
Endowments or Family Members      23

  1. This work is so important and brings so many blessings. These missionaries are so lucky. Some missionaries only get to got to the temple once maybe twice before their missions. I am eternally grateful for the service provided by the Ghana MTC staff for all their hard work and dedication to the Lord.
