All that is needed is YOU!  This coming Sunday, day after tomorrow!  REMEMBER! ! ! On July 2, 2012, (2 years ago) a total of 49,025 FamilySearch indexers and arbitrators joined together to set the all-time record for the most indexing participants in a single day. That lofty record is about to be broken-by you and the members of your stake! Invite your stake to join volunteers from around the world on July 20 and 21 for an international history-making event! The goal? For 50,000 indexers and arbitrators to submit at least one batch in a 24-hour period! Volunteers can do more if they would like, but one batch is all that is required to be counted in the record! This remarkable goal will require help from every current indexer and arbitrator in your stake, plus many new volunteers, but it can be achieved if generous volunteers such as those in your stake commit to participate. So mark your calendar, and spread the word! Contact your assigned high councilor and stake and ward leaders. Consider announcing this event through ward bulletins, hosting a ward or stake service project, or creating fun challenges with the youth. You can print and distribute this poster in your ward buildings to spread the word. Begin inviting and training new indexers and arbitrators to get them ready.  Remember, everyone is needed, and everyone can make a difference! Need more help motivating your volunteers? No matter where you live or what language you speak, you and your stake members can follow the counsel of President Dieter F. Uchtdorf to “lift where you stand” and add to this historic worldwide achievement. Your volunteers may choose to work on any project they prefer. However, we suggest they work on the following projects in their native language: US-Obituaries, 1980-2014 US-Passport Applications, 1795-1925 US, New Orleans-Passenger Lists, 1820-1902 UK, Manchester-Parish Registers, 1787-1999 The record-setting begins at 00:00 coordinated universal time (UTC) on July 21, which is 6:00 p.m. mountain daylight time (MDT or Utah time) on Sunday, July 20. It ends 24 hours later, at23:59 UTC (or 5:59 p.m. MDT) on Monday, July 21. Check the FamilySearch Facebook event page for your local start time and status updates. Through the selfless efforts of worldwide volunteers like you and the members of your stake, millions of people have found their ancestors, and many have performed temple work in their behalf. At the end of this exciting 24-hour event, millions more records will be available and ancestors will be found! One batch is all it takes. Don’t miss your chance on July 20 and 21 to be part of this history-making event! Thank you! We encourage any of you to do at least one batch of indexing!  Let's help hasten the work of Family History!  It is for all the missionary work going on in the Spirit World.  The missionaries there are busy, but their converts need US to do their baptizing!
