We stayed home and watched it over Zoom since Jena was definitely getting sick on Monday afternoon. It is not quite the same as being in the beautiful chapel at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, but we were glad that we could still watch it.
Our speakers were Elder Kevin Hamilton and his wife, Sister Claudia Hamilton. She shared about their service in Africa where they lived for 5 years before Elder Hamilton was assigned to the Family History Department. Elder Hamilton touched a variety of topics from being senior missionaries and the upcoming Roots Tech. He reported that people believe that 100 billion people have lived on this earth and slowly the family tree is being built to include all of those people. He talked about the message given by Moroni to Joseph Smith when he was 17--the Book of Mormon--another testament of Christ and the power of Elijah--turning the heart of the children to their fathers. That is how important the work of family history is!
One of the amazing blessings of serving in the Utah Salt Lake City Headquarters Mission!
