Temple & Family History

President Russell M. Nelson said “We can be inspired all day long about temple and family history experiences others have had. But we must do something to actually experience the joy ourselves.” He continued, “I invite you to prayerfully consider what kind of sacrifice—preferably a sacrifice of time—you can make [to] do more temple and family history work.”

2022 Mission Plan - Taylorsville 23rd Ward

1.   Ward members should be aware of and reach out to less active and non member neighbors, and to new move-ins. Get to know them, befriend them, be aware of them, and let the ward council know of them. Invite them to see, invite them to serve, and invite them to participate. Be thinking of how members can invite these individuals to the Taylorsville Temple open house.

       Love, Share and Invite

2.  All members should search, ponder, and pray for missionary opportunities as individuals and families, and share those experiences with others during church meetings to encourage and inspire missionary opportunities and follow up on those experiences.

3.    Ward members and youth should attend missionary discussions in person or via zoom.

4.    Ward council and ward missionaries coordinate visits to friends and new members.

5.     Take/make opportunities to fellowship new and returning members.

6.   Encourage new and returning members to participate in Family History research, and to find and take their own family names to the temple as soon as possible. Coordinate with Family History consultants.

7.  Where appropriate, utilize new and returning members in callings or assignments as soon as possible.
