Bringing Names to the Temple

Post from Becky: If you read the beckycrocker blog last week, you'll know that I went to the Family History library in Salt Lake a week ago. I was using new.familysearch.org and I want to reiterate again how remarkable this new program is! I started with myself and progressively went back in time until I found some names that had the bright yellow caution sign by them. That means they have temple work that needs to be done! I found children of our great-great-great grandfather and grandmother, John Clarke and Bridget. There were 5 girls and 2 boys. It is so easy to prepare the names for the temple, too. If you find them on new.familysearch.org, you just click on a print report form button, take the form to the temple, have them print out the cards there and they are ready to have the temple work done for them! I sent the cards with the ward on a "Baptisms Only Ward Temple Trip" last Wednesday for members to do the baptism/confirmation work, and I will begin taking the women through the other temple ordinances now, and find some gentlemen to help me complete the mens' names. Unless, of course, I hear from one of you who would like to do their work! Let me know. And check out new.familysearch.org. I can tell on the website that Aunt Connie has been working there, too. Join the fun!
