I taught the Intro. to Family History lesson tonight. It consisted mostly of how to fill out the different genealogy sheets e.g., how to write dates, place names, real names--the nuts and bolts of doing genealogy work. Hoping to make it a little more interesting I made a power point presentation which had pictures. It went fairly well. At the end I challenged the class to get their family groups sheet (with them as a child, of course) completely filled out. As incentive I have offered them a special treat next week.
Just as with any class, we have some who are just listening and doing no work, some who want to work, but are overwhelmed, and some who have already done research and baptisms. I am hoping to bring those who are overwhelmed to a place where they can see the next step on their own. I am not sure there is much I can do for those who are just sitting and listening except pray that the Spirit of Elijah will come to them.
