Be your posterity's best ancestor

As far as an update on Jada, she is adjusting well now to her new environment, I think she is even starting to enjoy all the attention.
There is a missionary couple in our branch, they teach english and are over family history and a bunch of other things here and there. The wife of the couple taught sunday school two sundays ago and while her lesson was on family history work she really emphasised what we can so now to be a good ancestor. She said, all of you who have children are already an ancestor. What legacy are you going to leave behind for your children. She showed a homemade decorative cloth for the table. It was nothing special looking, stitches were uneven and the pattern was unporportionate. The she read a quote from an elderly ladies journal who had pasted away. Through the journal entry we found out that this lady had made this for her granddaughter as a wedding gift. She had talked about the special relationship that this granddaughter and her had and how much it meant to her and she said "you know how I always say that the dinning room is the center of the home so I wanted to make something where a part of me could be in the center of your home. We also found out this lady had been practically blind at the time that she had made this.
The main point of her lesson I think was to encourage us to keep a journal with our experiences and testimony that our children, grandchildren, ect. will be able to benefit from. "Be your posterity's best ancestor."
Mike and I got this idea to create a book of a collection of recipes that come from our growing up years, foods that bring back memories and were traditions from each of our families. We also want to include comments and short stories that correspond. So far we are still working on jogging our memories and compiling lists of all the recipes we want to include. It will probably take some help of our mothers and grandmothers. We think this would be a unique and great way to leave behind a legacy of family traditions for our posterity. And it will help our children to feel connected to their ancestors and extended family. We have already made a recipe book that covered both of our missions and our goal is to at the end of our lives have made a recipe book series of all the major time periods of our lives, the places our family travels to and the traditions that come into our own home. I am really excited about this project. Food brings people together and so many of our best memories of family bonding moments and even outside the home are connected by a recipe.
