Tayug Ward Temple and Family History Work

15/03/2026

“When youth enter the temple, they do more than perform sacred ordinances—they become instruments in God’s work of connecting families for eternity.”

We are deeply grateful for this rising generation who love the Lord and honor His holy house. Their faith, devotion, and willingness to serve strengthen the work of salvation and connect families across generations. 🤍

Truly, the future of the Church is bright in the hearts of these faithful youth.

🌿 Tayug Ward Temple & Family History Work Activity
📅 November 1, 2025
📍 Tayug Ward Meetinghouse

Today, we gathered for a special activity — “Remembering Our Loved Ones.” 💕
Members of the Tayug Ward came together to honor those who have gone before us and to strengthen our connection as eternal families.

New members were able to create their FamilySearch accounts, learn about the importance of family history work, and discover how this sacred effort helps families become reunited forever.

Through this experience, we were reminded that family history is more than names and dates — it’s about love, legacy, and eternal connections. ❤️

Today, my heart is heavy as I learned about the passing of our beloved prophet, President Russell M. Nelson. I will always treasure the sacred moment when I had the chance to shake his hand during his visit here in the Philippines, at Makati—a memory I’ll never forget.

I am deeply grateful for his inspired teachings, his unwavering faith, and his Christlike example of discipleship. Truly, his life was a testimony of love, service, and obedience to the Lord. His legacy will continue to guide and inspire us to always choose the higher way.

God be with you till we meet again, President Nelson. 🙏 Thank you for pointing us to Jesus Christ and for reminding us to always look heavenward.

We are filled with joy and gratitude as we witness the growing strength of our Temple and Family History Work in Tayug Ward.

We give heartfelt thanks to our beloved TFHW team. Your dedication, consistency, and deep love for the work and for the Lord are a great blessing. You are not only helping others connect with their ancestors — you are helping to fulfill prophecy and bring salvation to our brothers and sisters outside of the veil.

As we continue this sacred work, we remember the promised blessings from prophets and scripture:

“Hearts shall turn to the fathers... and the earth will be smitten with a curse unless this work is done” (Malachi 4:5–6, D&C 2).
“Your children shall be protected. Your homes shall be strengthened. Your testimony shall deepen. And your joy shall increase.” — President Russell M. Nelson

To all who engage in this divine work: the heavens are smiling upon you. As we unite families across generations, we are also being united more deeply with the Lord.

Let us press forward, with hearts turned and hands ready.🙏😊😇

Story Time!

"A Name Found, A Heart Healed"

Maria had always been curious about her ancestors. As a convert to the Church, she often felt a spiritual nudge to learn more about her roots but didn’t know where to start. One Sunday, her ward held a Family History class, and she decided to attend.

With the help of a family history consultant, she began to explore records from her home country, the Philippines. After weeks of searching, she discovered a great-grandmother named Rosa who had passed away in the 1940s. As she read the faded documents, Maria felt an overwhelming sense of connection. She knew Rosa was waiting.

With tears in her eyes, Maria prepared Rosa’s name for the temple. Months later, she traveled to the Manila Philippines Temple with her husband to perform the ordinances on Rosa’s behalf. As the work was completed, Maria felt an undeniable warmth and peace — a witness that Rosa had accepted the ordinances.

But the blessings didn’t stop there.

Maria's testimony deepened, her marriage grew stronger, and her teenage children, inspired by her story, began their own family history research. One night, her daughter said, “Mom, I feel like we’re not alone anymore. Our family is bigger than we thought.”

Through the sacred work of the temple, Maria not only helped redeem the dead — she healed the living. Rosa’s legacy now lives on, not just in records, but in the hearts of her posterity.
