Dear Highland Stake Friends,

This week (Thursday, Friday and Saturday) we have a fantastic opportunity to be involved in the largest online celebration of family, culture, and heritage…RootsTech 2023!

Log on to https://www.familysearch.org/rootstech/ and find numerous live family history and geneology events in progress and dozens and dozens of on-demand sessions. They range from beginner to advanced, so there is something for everyone!

Additionally, there is Temple and Family History Leadership Instruction for RootsTech 2023 (and prior years) found at: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/family-history?lang=eng. We invite those in leadership roles to follow up on the invitations to watch, listen counsel together and act using these inspired resources.

We invite you to participate in this great family history event this week and to continue to be engaged in the work of salvation and exaltation. Temple and family history work has the power to bless those who have gone before us and each of us here in mortality….we will receive strength, protection and direction in our own lives and increase our ability to “hear Him.” Please listen to the invitations and blessings shared by our prophets and apostles.

I add my witness and testimony to our prophets and apostles and invite each of us to prayerfully consider how we can use the time we’ve been blessed with to be actively engaged and participate in the great work of salvation and exaltation.

With love,

Pres. Sanford
