A FAMILY SEARCH FIND -- A MIRACLE -- THANK YOU SHAUNA

This is a picture of my sweet grandmother Louisa Jane Allen Buchanan, (my fathers mother).  I love her dearly.  I have the fondest memories of her, especially when she lived a block from us in Roosevelt.  She always had fresh baked sugar cookies, always wore her apron, taught me how to knit and crochet.  And taught us gospel principles. She loved telling us stories of her past, which I regret not recording.  




My sister Shauna has become very involved in Family History and has experienced a turning of heart to her fathers.  She can't get enough of it and has prepared hundreds of names for temple work.  I am so proud of her.  One evening she turned on her computer and out sprang these three names:  William Allen, Daniel Allen and Orson Allen.  None of their temple work had been done yet - which was hard to believe because we have other faithful family search members in our family.  Somehow they had been missed.  There is a lesson taught often in family search.  This is it:  that when our ancestors are ready for their work to be done, they will find a way to tell us -- this is the case of these three men.  It brought tears of joy to us and a burning sensation to Shauna's heart.  She is being a valiant servant and missionary in her own way.  

So now these three brothers of my grandma Buchanan, and uncles to my father can have their temple work done  -- it is a glorious moment and a glorious tender mercy and a glorious miracle.
