“Elder Richard G. Scott counseled, ‘Set aside those things
in your life that don’t really matter. Decide to do something that will have
eternal consequences.’ I wanted to do just that, but I could not imagine what I
could set aside. I thought I was using my time really well on things that
really mattered. I was certainly exhausted enough. And wasn’t that an
indication? And then I remembered the time I spent by myself playing Scrabble
on my iPad. I didn’t think that little bit of time could make any difference.
But I set Scrabble aside for two months. I learned several things in just the
first two weeks of this new approach to family history. First, I learned that
those on the other side of the veil are very much alive and actually not that
cheerful about being called dead.” – Wendy W. Nelson
