Calling Temple and Family History Consultants

As you prayerfully select temple and family history consultants for your unit, consider the counsel of Elder D. Todd Christofferson when he said, “If I were a bishop again, my approach would be to charge the [elders quorum president] with the responsibility to lead out in the ward council on this subject. I would ensure that we had one or more … family history consultants who were ‘people persons’ who could work under his direction” (Religious Educator, vol. 6, no. 2 [2005], 10–11).

Invite those you call to begin their service by:

• Prayerfully studying President Henry B. Eyring’s talk “Gathering the Family of God.”

• Visiting www.familysearch.org/calling.

These two resources will help them to understand the importance of their calling, gain access to tools and resources they will need to help others, and invite them to begin their service by having a personalized family history experience for themselves.
