Today for Personal Progress, visit new.familysearch.org. If you already have an lds.org account, log in. If not, create one. Here you will find the temple ordinances information on the deceased relatives in your family. Record the information on your pedigree chart. If you are having trouble, it might be helpful to contact a someone from a Family History Center nearby. Sign off on Individual Worth 6.

PROJECT TIP: Highlight those ordinances that need to be completed and use that information for a Good Works Value Project where you prepare their names for ordinances and attend the temple on their behalf. We will be doing this together soon. But don’t wait on us if you are anxious to get started.

Keep working on those standards! (4/21)

Today for personal progress, get the pedigree chart you filled out yesterday and take it to your parents and ask for their help with any information they may have. It might be helpful to have extra paper to take notes or maybe even to record the conversation for reference later.

Here are some tips and strategies for interviews. On page 3, you’ll find a list of questions to ask. After you ask your parents these questions, ask your grandparents. Even ask your aunts and uncles if you would like.  If you still have great-grandparents alive, definitely ask them too.

If you do not have an account on lds.org and you are a member of the LDS Church, you will need your record number and confirmation date to create one. Ask your ward clerk for this information at church today.

And, record in your journal some notes about your experience with improving on the three standards. (3/21)

PROJECT TIP: You may want to ask your family members, especially great-grandparents, a more comprehensive list of questions. You’ll find one here. If you choose to do that you can use it for a Personal Progress Value project for Individual Worth.

I’m so excited for the experience we start today. We’re starting Individual worth 6.

When you participate in family history, you come to understand your identity and individual worth. Visit with your living relatives to learn as much information about your family history as possible. Then complete a pedigree chart of your family and list the temple ordinances that have been completed for each person.

Today we are filling out a pedigree chart. Put yourself on line 1 and fill in what you know about the dates and places for the events. Then put your dad on line 2 and your mom on line 3. Again, fill in what you know for the events. Do this for the rest of the chart. Print out the chart once you’ve filled in all you can.

Tomorrow, we’ll talk with some relatives. It might be helpful to let your parents and grandparents know of your intentions to talk about family history with them to get them thinking about things they may want to share with you. Contact them today and let them know you’ll be getting back in touch tomorrow.

Today is your second day of three weeks to improving yourself on three standards! (2/21)
