I feel as if we as Consultants give a warning voice and set a good example that Heavenly Father will accept our efforts. Even if member's choose not to work on their Family Lines, it is our calling to continue to encourage. I recently came up with a statement that working on Family History is like paying your tithing, it takes Faith not time or money to do it. We all could be doing other things. I guess it takes Faith to continue encourage when we do not see results as Miles mentions below. No doubt Heavenly Father is pleased with those efforts and that seem to be the most important thing.
