Question on Family History Work
Today we had a great presentation from our ex-Bishop who is a Family History expert, he does it for a living. I really enjoyed it, it gave me encouragement which is what it was supposed to do.
However, at the very end of the presentation he said that anything we do in this life is utterly FUTILE unless we do family history. He even quoted a scripture to confirm it, D&C 128:15
This upset me a lot. It seems very extreme. Its almost like, you can be the best person you can be and do everything else, but miss out family history and you're doomed.
It seems there's so many things you have to do in the church to be 'saved'. Most people tell me 'do the best you can'. Well, what if my best isn't enough? It sounds more likely than not in most people's cases in that case. Will I have wasted my life?
I feel overwhelmed with the level of expectation placed on me as an individual.
