Cindy,

I would love a copy of your presentation. I am in need of some help with
my calling. I have been in this position for 5 months or more and
attending stake meetings each month. I have sent out a survey to get
information on where the members are and now I just need to start teaching
the classes and i am nervous. I feel so unable to teach the class when I
am just learning all this mayself. Is the talk written down or just in the
video. I had never heard of that video. Can I order it from the
distrubution Center? Thanks.

>Elder Eyring's talk was so powerful. Nothing has ever touched our Stake

>Our ward family history consultants will now be expected to attend ward

>Here's one of Elder Eyring's quotes from the video: "When you help a member
>trying to do family history, don't see that single person. See hundreds and
>perhaps thousands of their ancestors who will be praying to be found and
>liberated. And think of the faithful missionaries who have waited with
>them. As you do, you will feel not only the urgency of your service but
>confidence that prayers, some from this side of the veil and more on the
>other, will be answered."

>Anyway, if anyone wants a copy of my presentation, please e-mail me.
