Today, I did family history again for my Savior, and it was fantastic! I've found a family that I can take to the temple!
The Lord prepares the way and inspires people to bring His work to pass. I was only able to find this family because at the same time that I was working down the descendancy line in my tree, someone else was working up from present day in their own line; we met in the middle. I would never have found this family on my own. The wife, who is my blood relation, threw a lot of tricky barriers in my path: 1) she moved from England to Missouri, U.S.A, 2) she started going by her middle name, and 3) she got married, thus changing her last name, and she did all three of these things in between census records! And I didn't even know her middle, just the first letter of it! How was I supposed to realize that Lizzie S. Young of Missouri was the same girl as Sarah E. G. Shute of England!? ('E' stands for Elizabeth)
Through a miracle. I'm so grateful to follow the God of miracles.
