As August is national family history month in New Zealand and Australia, the Pacific Area Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is inviting members and friends of the Church in these countries to participate in family history activities.
In particular, by engaging in the #MyFamilyMyHistory campaign throughout August 2021, and viewing a Facebook Live "table talk" with Elder Kazuhiko and Sister Tazuko Yamashita and young single adults from Australia and New Zealand on Sunday 29 August 2021.
In a letter to Church leaders throughout Australia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and the island nations and territories of the South Pacific, the Area Presidency wrote:
"The Old Testament prophet, Malachi, foresaw Elijah’s role in latter-day Temple and Family History work. ' . . And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers' (Joseph Smith History 1:39)."
