RootsTech 2017 — My Report

The annual RootsTech conference was bigger and better!  Held in the Salt Palace, 2017Feb8-11.

Many attended, and it was highlighted on the Home Page of LDS.org with Elder Russell M. Nelson and his wife, Wendy, as keynote stars.  It was spiritual, intellectual, and also entertaining for all ages.

Be sure to watch the recordings, there are four highlighted:

Ø  President Russell M. Nelson and his wife, Wendy, keynote stars

Ø  The Tabernacle Choir, “Music, It Runs in the Family”

Ø  Elder Hank Smith entertains teenagers and trains parents

Ø  “Temple/Family” Sheri Dew, Vai Sikahema, Reno Mahe
