Blessings of doing family history
“Never
forget that family history—and the temple ordinances enabled by
it—is an essential part of the work of salvation and that
participation in this sacred work for the dead blesses the lives of
the living. It strengthens our faith in and commitment to the gospel,
helps us resist temptation, draws our families closer together, and
strengthens our wards and stakes.”
...
“As
an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, I promise that if you look
beyond the bonds of time and mortality and help those who cannot help
themselves, you will be blessed with more closeness and joy in your
family and with the divine protection afforded those who are faithful
in His service.”

"Healing" can mean different things
“It
is important to understand that His healing can mean being cured, or

it to endure to the end patiently, for God needs brave sons and
daughters who are willing to be polished when in His wisdom that is
His will.”
- Elder
Richard G. Scott, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “To Be
