The Lord has commanded that “a history of all the important” matters concerning His Church be written and kept (Doctrine and Covenants 69:3; see also verse 5; Alma 37:2).
Each unit in the Church is to document all the important matters concerning the unit. These matters include historical accounts from unit leaders. Identifying important matters is best accomplished by:
- Reflecting on efforts to help individuals and families.
- Recognizing meaningful experiences that show God’s influence in the lives of His children.
Keeping a history is a spiritual work that will strengthen the faith of those who write and read it.
Members may use the Unit History tool to view stories that have been published by their ward and stake leaders.
