Ultimately, your goal needs to be able to teach a presentation for something like a Ward or Stake Family History Fair.

'''Under our new Handbook2, The Temple and Family History Leaders in your wards will start assigning you one night a month or week to work at the Stake Library with your Stake Temple and Family History Consultant so that you can learn the technical aspect of teaching TFH. '''
