Elder M.Ā Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles gave the following counsel on Church service, which also applies to family history work: āWe need to thoughtfully allocate our resources of time, income, and energy. I would like to let you in on a little secret. Some of you have already learned it. If you havenāt, itās time you knew. No matter what your family needs are or your responsibilities in the Church, there is no such thing as ādone.ā There will always be more we can do.Ā ā¦ āThe key, it seems to me, is to know and understand your own capabilities and limitations and then to pace yourself, allocating and prioritizing your time, your attention, and your resources to wisely help others, including your family, in their quest for eternal lifeā (in Conference Report, Oct. 2006, 18ā19; or Ensign, Nov. 2006,Ā 19).
