Hey Sisters! Where You Gonna Be On Tuesday?

Family History Conference

Family History Conference March 8th!

To register, interested individuals should send a message to the email here and just say they want to be signed up/registered:  wmrtfamilyhistory@gmail.com   We will then contact them with the important information.

 

The link for all the videos from which we have chosen our schedule is at:

 

https://www.lds.org/topics/family-history/host-a-family-history-fair/admin/video-links?lang=eng

 

You will be taken to a site where you have to sign in with your LDS account information, then you will see a chart of all the videos.

 

You can view or download them as you wish.

 

The one I would suggest that you start with is:  "Youth Leading Youth".  However, wherever you start, it is like General Conference, there really aren't any "bad" sessions.

 

The Roots Tech website and recent conference information is at their website: rootstech.org  

 

This conference is what resulted in the addition of puzzilla.org to Family Tree to help find cousins.  You have probably seen and used Puzzilla by now, but if not it is found on the opening page of familysearch.org

 

The Youth Devotional video is by Elder Neal L. Anderson and is EXCELLENT also and features the Puzzilla site and finding cousins process and steps.

 

The conference will be March 8, check in at 8:30 AM and sessions start showing at 8:50 AM. It ends at noon so people still have their Saturday afternoon available for families.

VIDEO USED BY SANDY IN HER RELIEF SOCIETY LESSON

Many sisters have asked where they can find the video that Sandy showed in her Relief Society lesson today.  It was pretty powerful.  She shared the link with us to put on the blog:

It is very good!

REQUEST FROM OUR LEADERS

Updating our photos in the Ward Directory

President Mills & Bishop Jeppesen have requested that we update our photos digitally in the ward directory.  This directory is included in both LDS Tools and LDS.org    See instructions below.  If you need help taking your picture, uploading it into the program, and/or having it approved, call Nikki Hoyt at 928-243-0691

You can get detailed instructions by clicking on the following link:
https://tech.lds.org/blog/511-how-to-update-your-directory-photo

I realize that this picture is small, but it is in pdf format, not jpeg, so I think this is as large as I can get it on the blog.  The link above has this same picture, and instructions.  Also, this picture is attached to the email I just sent out to the sisters.  You can open that attachment and see it larger!  If you have any questions, call Nikki!!!
