Blog for the Ward Temple & Family History Consultants - San Bernardino, CA Stake

Wednesday, April 4, 2018

Welcome to our blog. This will be a landing place for all ward temple and family history consultants in the San Bernardino, CA Stake to keep up on the latest information for our callings and personal research. I had started a Facebook Group, but realized that not everyone has a Facebook account or they don't visit their account very much. That is why I have started this blog. Instead of sending out emails (except to let you know there is a new blog posting), I will post here. This way all of  'my emails' will be in one place and searchable with labels and search box for easy finding of information.

General Conference this past weekend was amazing. If you didn't get a chance to watch, follow this link to get caught up. We had a new announcement which will effect our callings a bit. The High Priest Group Leader position has been retired and we now have both the previous High Priest Group and the Elder's Quorum, combined as the Elder's Quorum. There are three talks that go over the new changes. The talks from President Nelson, Elder Christofferson, and Elder Rasband will go over the changes in more detail.

The main take from this that will affect how we proceed with our callings as consultants is who we will report to. We will no longer report to our high priest group leader, since that position has been retired. There will now only be an Elder's Quorum and I am sure those positions in the next several weeks will be reassigned. With that in mind, we will continue to proceed with our assignments until the priesthood callings have been assigned. We will need to be patient with all involved as they will all have new assignments and it may be a bit before they have a chance to work with us in our callings.

Training Tip for today: We all need to know the 'landing' page on lds.org for your Family History Calling. Here is the direct link. It has been updated. If you are on lds.org you just need to click on 'Families and Individuals' and when the drop down menu shows, click on 'Family History'. Just that easy. No need to go through the 'Calling' section of the site.

Go through the page on lds.org and see what is available so if a question is asked of you, you may not know the answer, but you will know where to find the answer.

There will be additional posts but just wanted to share with you the web address for this site for future reference. The next post will be a recap of our last meeting. Keep an eye out for that later this week.

Enjoy,
Sis. Jill Holmes
