Song: We sang song #94 from the Primary Children's Songbook, Family History-I Am Doing It. This a fun song to sing, and it goes as follows:
Fam'ly history - I am doing it, My fam'ly history.
And the love I feel when I'm doing it Is very sweet to me.
I learn stories of my progenitors; I write their history.
I keep records of my loved ones On my own fam'ly tree.
Fam'ly living now and the ones who've died Can all be sealed to me,
And someday I'll meet ev'ry one of them, I'm sure as I can be.
Oh what joy we'll have when they say to me, "We're all a family.
I am yours and you are mine now, Through all eternity."

Salt Lake City Temple |
Temples are special
buildings dedicated to the Lord. Worthy Church members may go there to
receive sacred ordinances and make covenants with God.We
also go to the temple to learn more about Heavenly Father and His Son,
Jesus Christ. We gain a better understanding of our purpose in life and
our relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. We are taught
about our premortal existence, the meaning of earth life, and life after
death.
Many of our ancestors are among those who died without hearing about the
gospel while on the earth. They now live in the spirit world. There they are taught the gospel of Jesus
Christ. Those who have accepted the gospel are waiting for the temple
ordinances to be performed for them. As we perform these ordinances in
the temple for our ancestors, we can share their joy.
Latter-day Saints are encouraged to participate in family history activities. Through these activities we learn about our ancestors so that we can perform ordinances for them. Family history involves three basic steps:
1. Identify our ancestors.
2. Find out which ancestors need temple ordinances performed.
3. Make certain that the ordinances are performed for them.
Through our efforts in finding our ancestors names and in performing their ordinances in the temple, we can have our families for time and all eternity.

Fan Chart on FamilySearch.org |
Activity: This activity was pretty simple and very effective. First, I logged into my Family Search account. Family Search is a free website where you can build your own family tree and search for your ancestors. You can also add or find pictures and stories of you family. I pulled up the fan chart view of my pedigree chart and just showed this to June so she could see all the people in her family line. Then, we sat down with my dad and just looked through old photo albums. She loves looking at pictures and she loved hearing the stories behind each photo even more.
