    The History of Family History - Biddy the Beautiful Descendants Rise Up

    Send us Fan Mail | What do Marilyn Monroe, Gandhi, Steve Irwin, and Marie Antoinette have in common? They were all baptized by proxy in LDS temples! 😮 Today, we're talking all things Family History! We’ll share tips on how to be the best "baptizee" in the temple font, the truth behind the Church’s (literally) nuke-proof records vault, and the inevitable issues that arise when people decide to go rogue on Family Search. Plus, Sophia faces the impossible task of choosing which terrible names from our real family tree she would give to her hypothetical children.  Sources: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240829-healing-generational-trauma-and-mental-health-by-understanding-ancestry https://www.thechurchnews.com/1995/5/6/23255492/church-jewish-group-reach-agreement/ https://www.deseret.com/2017/12/21/20637471/recent-mormon-baptisms-for-holocaust-victims-questioned/ https://www.businessinsider.com/here-are-10-people-posthumously-baptized-by-mormons-2012-3#mohandas-gandhi-9 https://www.newsweek.com/mormons-baptizing-holocaust-victims-kardashians-joe-biden-marilyn-monroe-death-756702 https://www.ldsliving.com/church-responds-to-questions-about-mormon-baptisms-for-holocaust-victims-parents-of-celebrities/s/87345  https://wilfordwoodruffpapers.org/wilford-woodruff-founding-fathers We want to hear from you!

    Disney Princess Convent vs. Anti-Mormon Santa | Temple Square Mission Tribute Pt 2

    Send a text | We're back to give you the rest of our inside scoop on the Temple Square Mission! Highlights include: not one, but THREE moonings, a nearly hazardous encounter with a certain sunglasses-clad apostle, and an Anti-Mormon Santa Claus! 😳  Located at LDS Church Headquarters in Salt Lake City, the Temple Square Mission is the world’s only all-female LDS mission. Temple Square missionaries give tours in every language and meet regularly with top LDS leaders. They also have all sorts of amusing (and sometimes, scary) encounters with a cast of characters dubbed Temple Square “regulars”.  Sadly, this unique mission will be dissolved in July of 2026. But lucky for us, we have an inside source to share all of Temple Square’s juicy secrets before the mission disappears forever. Join us for Part 2 to catch one of our hosts spilling all the hilarious and shocking tea of the Temple Square Mission! We want to hear from you!
