Family History Blessings

Welllll after about 2 weeks I finally got my church membership record number! It was so cool to log into my LDS account even though there's not really much else I can do (but hey, I can sync my scripture markings on my devices!) 

But then I got to add my church membership number to something even cooler...FAMILY SEARCH. 

I had already had a Family Search account for a few months, but it didn't show any of the temple work stuff on there (you know, you have to be a member to do that stuff). But all the ordinance work finally showed up. Needless to say I spent four hours on there... 

Then something even cooler happened. My great great grandmothers work HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE. I started crying. The thought of some of my family already accepting the ordinances of the gospel was incredible. It was a major blessing. 

1 Behold, I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

2 And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers.

3 If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming.

(D&C 2) 

5 ¶Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

(Malachi 4:5-6)
