Just a general observation ... not a complaint, but a comparison.



Saying only that West Jordan and Bountiful will be the last, or "someday" all will have it. That's like the auto manufacturers

showing off a prototype of an all electric car and saying "someday this will be available at an affordable price to everybody."



Our reaction is "Nice." Then what do we do? We go on with our daily lives, driving the gasoline cars we own right now and

not paying much more attention to the all electric "toy" we just saw.



Without even general time frames for NFS rollouts, there's not much more to look forward to than there is with the all electric car.

Priesthood leaders and members alike look at it the same way as we do the electric car. "Nice 'toy'. Let us know when it gets here." They, and we, go on with no more enthusiasm for family history than we currently may possess in ourselves. If there is no enthusiasm in a member who thinks the current procedures are too difficult to do or understand, then that same feeling continues even though we try to tell them that "someday" it will be much simpler and "look at all the fantastic things that can be done with it that can't be done right now."
