Turning our Hearts (Not just temple work!!!!!)

Malachi 4:5-6
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.

Having our hearts turned to our father's is often talked about. We are meant to save those souls who have gone before us by doing their temple work. And while doing temple work is important, I feel very strongly that just doing their temple work isn't enough. Doing Family History doesn't mean doing temple work. While they are very connected, they are two separate things. Doing family history does often mean learning about dates and places, but it also means learning ABOUT the person. So when people tell me that most of their family history work is done I laugh. If most of their family's temple work is done, that's great, but if that person can't tell me stories about their ancestors, then they can't say that their family history is done. Family history is personal, it's about personally learning about them. That is what it means to turn YOUR heart to your fathers. Because when you really take the time to learn about someone, then you come to love them.
