A blessing in every way
“I have earned my first family history research certificate and I’m working on my second certificate right now. I’ve been challenged, and I’ve learned so much from every class. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this inspired program that helps so many receive excellent education and training. I and my family is blessed because of it.”

Hope for a better future
“I once lacked confidence with my education because I dropped out of school in Pakistan. Now I am able to help others in the Church in family history to find their ancestors and guide them to do this sacred work. I don't think I could find any other program that could have the same impact in my life like BYU-Pathway. One of the wonderful things that BYU-Pathway offers is education opportunities for those who have little hope for education and a better future.”

Exactly what I was looking for
“I know I have a bright future ahead of me and I have set a good example for my children, as a result of being part of BYU-Pathway. I hope to be an outstanding family history research specialist as I help people build their family trees and write stories about themselves and ancestors and perform temple ordinances as well.”
