I listened to a presentation at church about family history about how to make use of family search website.  Here are my notes.

• Programmers are working on new ways to make family history fun.
• Make sure that the information in your ward directory is accurate as family history uses your information to help find relevant relatives to your family.
• There was a spot that you can document memories of individuals that are up on family history. This is also an excellent place that you can start recording key points of your life.
• There is a section of family history that you can find which historical figures you are related to. This list ranges from the Prophets to historical figures such as President of the United States.
• Is also an area that you can find your pioneer ancestors and find out which ancestors came across which wagon train or handcart.
• In the old chapel, every Sunday except the first Sunday of the month will be a place where you can workshop family history. People will be there to help you. It will not be an official class but just time to actually work on your them.
• The family history centers are built in 34 different countries. The one that is closest to us is located at 450 S. 1st West in Orem. You can also go to the BYU library from nine until 730 get help up there. You are encouraged to organize your papers before you go. Before you go, it would be wise to organized your paper work.
• One of the nice things about the family history is that you will get palms of what work you can do that is specifically related to your ancestors.
• You can also add photos. With everyone who has smart phones, people are encouraged to visit grandparents, aunts and uncles and take pictures of their pictures. Make sure the individuals in the photos are probably identified and even posting up on family history. That way the photos will never be completely lost.
• There is a spot on the website that you can give yourself tasks.
• In another section of the website that you can make a list of what people you want to keep an eye out for.
• When you say were done by someone else is on your family
• They will include their email and you can contact them.
• When you are ready to submit temple paperwork, there are two conditions you need to check for.
• The person you doing work for has to be hundred and 10 years ago and
• They cannot be Jewish. The church is made an agreement with the Jewish people.
• Family history has an option of duplicate accounts to counteract where there may be hundreds of repetitions of doing temple work for the same people. Catching duplicates helps prevent repeating work that has already been done.
• You can print up to 40 temple ordinances at a time.
• There is a contact option on the website to have missionaries answer questions or to help solve the problem.
• We haven’t enough and vomiting is the menu person, you can click on that person and see their descendants (kids). On this page should be probably to the right to the left is the menu that you can point to other family history software can help you find additional information about outside the realms of search. The LDS church has made arrangements for members to get free memberships to these accounts and everyone benefits. Some of them are ancestery.com, my search, my heritage, etc
• The phone number to call for help is 866 – 406 – 1830.

I had the chance to watch the documentary called habitat for humanity.

It talks about how a world organization can control the population of the country is the world by making laws that will benefit the earth and future generations of the descendants. It also talks about how such management will remove the rights and privileges of the people.

Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

• Article: the end of history – discusses the purpose of communist utopia.
• Sustainable development is the name of the program that is geared to control human beings lies to benefit the planet.
• Speech: the ideology of renewal. This is a Gorbachev defines a new type of values is related to earth rather than Christian values.
• First Earth Summit 1989, to place in the country of Rio Ee Janeiro, Brazil this is where that agenda 21 was the first place to introduce agenda 21.
• Book: outline of sanity.

• Book: how (maybe Our) common future.
• CO2 restrictions may involve each individual citizen living under a CO2 budget. If you go over to get find if you under you might get a reward.

• Book: the White Knight talks about changing everyone’s mindset beginning that use.
• Many feel that the higher educated consumer will use more resources than the lower educated consumer and thus it would be better to get people to all be lower educated to thus require less.
• Book by Landon: left-hand communism written by Landon in 1920 talks about the education of the young.
• Carl Marx felt that religion was opium.
• Article: The history of religious social crisis.
• Carl Marx hated religion because it taught that nature is subservient to men.
• Earth charter: was created to present a new set of morals that will replace Christian values
• Earth charter wants a renewal of pagan religion to replace Christianity.
• The path to redemption under renewal charter will be related to sustaining Earth goals such as recycling or other tasks.
• Facing a changing world: is the UN document that discusses how reproduction is bad as well as the family and that section be promoted for pleasure and not for teaching children

• sustainable medicine can be used as part of sustainable development can help population control
• Green development is when everyone sacrifices for the good of the world in the own way. The ideal communist:
• Smart growth would be represented by a higher density of the population. Smaller homes would be mixed with services and entertainment.
• Cars pollute more from stop and go traffic and that would be one of the challenges of high-density areas is the stop and go traffic.
• Many people like a 20-minute drive to and from work is a 20 minute home get a chance to decompress during the right home.
• In Russia when scientists disagreed with the government they were either killed or tortured up in concentration camps. Scientists in the United States who disagree with global warming or merely labeled mentally ill.
• The sun goes through a 206-year cycle that involves cold times. We had just left the warm times and now experiencing the cold times. If the world does not recognize the lengthy cold peers we are approaching and do not obtain the necessary energy to keep civilization one we can be facing struggling situations.
• In 2009 climate gate broke. This is where the email of UN scientists were found and it was discovered that they manipulated an agenda of global warming and would punish anyone that did not walk with their message.
• Post normal science: is where it’s been acknowledged that the global warming was a hoax and manipulated. And because of the corrupt and inaccurate messages, the real science is now being questioned.
• Green Constitution will restore the right to fear the weather.
• Joseph story: talks about how free was lost by false promises.

Good: suicide

Bad:   suiside

I keep forgetting the C instead of S. but when I think of suicide I think of a knife cutting a wrist. So remember that suiCide often involves a knife (C) to Cut. We’ll see if that will help my spelling.

Do you have a better suggestion? If so, please share in the comment section of this blog.

Tonight I attended a presentation by Gregory a Hudnall. He is from Hope 4 Utah. He gave some valuable information about suicide. This is the first half of my notes. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

• 10 to 17-year-olds is the most prominent age for suicides
• Most suicides can be prevented
• Those planning to suicide will give some hints of their mental status by actions, words, circumstance
• There are warning signs and risk factors that can help alert you to potential suicide
• The hope 4 Utah went to school at 2100 kids and went into each English class and asked each student that which three people would you tell if you are thinking about so citing. When all the names were handed in they found that of the 2100 students there were 40 students that were represented on nearly everyone’s list. So the organization trained those 40 students to become aware of suicide signs. As a result, there were no suicides at that school for multiple years.
• Usually, when someone is going to suicide they will admit it to somebody. But when admitted to their friends those friends were using not tell anyone else because are afraid of their friend be mad at him.
• Hope 4 Utah performs the task of finding key students who can be trained to help others from suiciding. They go to different schools to find other students that can be trained to prevent suicide.
• The website is hope4Utah.com
• For adults, the points of stress are relationships, finances, and help.

• Research has shown that students who involved with activities such as band, clubs, or other student activities or less inclined to suicide and using have upgrades.

• Teachers are strongly encouraged to call upon each student at least once per class.
• Most mental illness begins between the ages of 10 to 14.
• Kids go to drugs was a makes them feel good. Kids suicide to get away from pain.

• Utah is the second highest abuse of prescription drugs
• Utah County is the highest county in the state for the misuse of prescription drugs

At church, we are having a short term Sunday school on addiction. These are the notes for week 10. It was a short class this week. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

• The apostle Peter believes in walking on water when he sees Christ do it. He fumbles in his faith and the Lord is there to help him.
• Christ still appreciates the success of Peter’s earlier faith.
• We need humility to help you maintain the grown you’ve experienced.
• The Spirit can point you in necessary action and restitution.
• At step 10 you are ready for a new life.
• You can feel what you have accomplished in life by seeing how God has influenced your life.
• The last three steps are maintenance steps.
• There is a restoring of ‘some’ things that can be restored to some degree. An example is that a parent who has lost their family might be able to have visitation rights.
• You no longer need to justify your actions. You accept responsibility now and in the future for your part.
• One member of the group reference a nice poem called the Iron Rod that went into more details of the Lehi/Nephi vision expounding upon Christ’s atonement helping us. The class members found the poem but can’t find the author. It’s a nice poem:

Due to the election of Donald Trump. Many people on the left are very upset. The following is presented to illustrate that the emotions the left has today are many of the same emotions that the right experienced for the last eight years. Maybe there can be a little sympathy for both sides and better understanding.

• 2012 TX succession, too much government control.
• CA/OR succession, too much government control.

• 2008 Nancy Pelosi you must pass Obamacare bill to read it
• 2016 democrats want see what will replace Obamacare before passage

• 2012 Obama was caught on live mic with Russia about him doing more once he’s reelected.
• 2016 people concerns about Russia helping Trump win the election

• Democrats arranged for backdoor deals for Obamacare call Lausanne purchase ; Cornhuskers kickback
• Republican backdoor deal on Obama’s economic bill

• 2008 conservatives expressed concerns about too much government control
• 2016 democrat concern of too much control of government by democrats

• 2014 business deny service for religious reasons
• 2016 dressmakers deny business Mrs. Trump for political reasons

• Voters in CA voted for proposition 8
• Judge over rode the vote of the people.

When either of us want to get up on our high horse, we can consider the following:

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

Good: Havoc

Bad:    Havic

I’m going to remember to include the O as a visual image. Think of an event of havoc. Our mouths are open because we are overwhelmed. Thus remember the O  in havOc rather than the I.
