Turn Our Hearts

"When our family started to learn about family history, it led us on a journey which helped us in so many other ways. . . . We thought we were blessing the lives of our deceased family members. That work ultimately saved our marriage. . . . Doing family history work blessed my family and may have saved our children and our children's children."

- Scott Jess, Springfield Illinois Stake
