My Gospel Words
Look for these words and phrases in this issue of the Friend!
Tithing
Paying tithing is giving back to Heavenly Father by donating one-tenth (10 percent) of the money we earn to His Church. Tithing helps build temples and churches and supports the work of the Church. When we pay tithing, Heavenly Father blesses us in many ways!
Ancestors
Our ancestors are people in our family who lived a long time ago, like our great-great-grandparents. Ancestors are an important part of our family history. We can learn about them, remember them, and do temple work for them so we can be together forever.
Indexing
Indexing is a way we can help others find their ancestors! We type names from old paper records into a computer so people can search for their family members and find records about their lives. This helps with family history and temple work so more people can be sealed together forever. Even kids can help with indexing!
Martyrdom
A martyrdom happens when someone dies for something they believe in. Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were martyrs because they were killed for believing in, living, and teaching the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
