Synopsis
Part 1
The new titles for beloved Church leaders feels weird — Our host shares his theory for why he cries so easily by relating the moment he opened the white envelope containing the letter revealing his full-time missionary assignment — You can catch up on past sessions from RootsTech at rootstech.org — While Rootstech is in session, you can watch selected sessions streaming live over the Internet for free
Part 2
RootsTech is the largest family history conference in the world — Our host shares his impressions of two classic discourses on LDS singles life from President Oakes — Fallout in LDS singles culture from President Oakes’s discourses on dating versus hanging out and timing — Many general authorities have declared our 20s is the time for marriage and starting families — Never give up doing the right things for you regardless of how long it takes you to secure your blessings — There is always hope because there is always Christ — Our host shares his call to repentance regarding journal writing — We should write in our journal not only the story of our own lives but those we know of our ancestors as well — We have so much technology available to us that we have no excuse for not recording our family stories in some way — Nephi inspired millions with his account of his righteousness while he was single, so we also can have that same effect as singles — We can ignite faith in future generations when we leave them our stories and testimony
Part 3
The Old Testament prophecy about turning the hearts of the children to the fathers is about stories as well as temple ordinances — Our host tells the story of Lyman Curtis, a pioneer ancestor who didn’t record his life for his descendants, and describes the effect that failure to record has on future generations — Future generations will never know your contribution unless it is recorded and passed to them — Singles can spend so much time wondering how their life will work out that they forget to live life — One way to do that is by discovering, gathering, and sharing the stories of our ancestors for future generations — Our host shares a story about his paternal grandfather that has inspired him in his life — If you think you don’t have inspirational stories about you’re ancestors, you just don’t know the stories — We singles have an important part to play in discovering, gathering, and sharing these stories for future generations — Our host discusses the two great family history myths: Family history is just for old people, and people with pioneer ancestry have all their work done — We all have work to do
