As I worked on projects this week my mind kept going back to 1 Nephi. It helps that I am 1) working on learning Spanish by reading the Book of Mormon in Spanish and English and 2) following the prophet's counsel to read it by the end of the year. Back to my point...it was so important for Lehi and his family to have a record of his genealogy and the scriptures that Nephi was commanded to kill Laban to get them. You can also see that those who did not have these records dwindled in unbelief. The Lamanites and also the Jaredites.

It is so important for families to be together and to know where you came from. More and more as I learn about Family History and work in the temple my testimony grows.The whole purpose of this life is to create eternal families. Working on my own line and eventually helping others, is becoming very important to me.
