I am a firm believer in Family History work! Before I came out on my mission I was called to be an "Indexer." At the time I was attending Brigham Young University-Idaho and my ward had filled up all the callings possible. Sometimes they would create "other callings" so that everyone had a part. I was called to be the Ward Indexer. I thought for sure that I had been given one of those "filler" callings, but then I started learning all about what people do who index. It was SO fun! I downloaded the program onto my computer and indexed away! I loved looking at the old census records and other forms that they use. It was interesting to read about where they were born, what their names were, age, and occupation. I love history and truly enjoyed finding out just the basic information about these people. It makes for such a wonderful Sunday activity and doesn't take that long at all. I have now indexed over 1,500 names. I love it! I know that indexing is just another important step into furthering the Lord's work on the earth today.
