“One Member, One Name Sent to the Temple” Challenge
On May 1, 2022, the Guadeloupe District Presidency sent a letter to all members and issued a challenge entitled “one member, one name sent to the temple.”
The goal of this challenge was to encourage members (children, youth, adults, recent converts) to participate more fully in the work of the temple and family history by searching for their ancestors and sending at least one name to the temple during the month of May.
This challenge “one member, one name sent to the temple” allowed the members to strengthen their testimonies that temple and of family history work is truly the Lord’s work. Members have witnessed miracles in searching for their ancestors and have felt the spirit of Elijah in their lives.
Participation in the challenge took many forms, there were individual actions, family activities as well as activities organized within the branches in places of worship.
Overall, the results are satisfactory in that participation has increased. Indeed, before the challenge, only 22 members had sent at least one name to the temple for the period from January to April. In the month of May alone, 23 members sent names to the temple.
Participation has increased in almost all branches of the district, which includes three branches in Guadeloupe, one branch in Martinique, one branch in French Guiana, and, since the month of April, it also includes one branch in Sint Maarten.
