Find an ancestor whose work needs to be completed.
Riverton Utah Central Stake

2. June Sprint: Find an ancestor on the other side whose work needs to be completed.
Summary:
For June we will find at least one ancestor whose temple work needs to be completed. Either his/her temple ordinance work has not yet been started or it has already begun but is not yet completed.
In order to complete this Sprint a name needs to be found, the information printed out to be taken to the temple, and at least the baptism and confirmation completed.
To go the extra mile, find as many family members as you can who are in need of temple ordinances and start the temple work on them.

The Promise…
“Think of a faithful missionary standing there with those he has loved and taught who are your ancestors. Picture as I do the smile on the face of that missionary as you walk up to him and your ancestors whom he converted but could not baptize or have sealed to family until you came to the rescue. I do not know what the protocol will be in such a place, but I imagine arms thrown around your neck and tears of gratitude.”

Hearts Bound Together, April, 2005
