My great-grandmother Rachel (Ada) Robison Rogers always longed to have her extended family accept the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
So far as I know, she was disappointed in life that none of those she contacted were interested in the Savior’s Restored Church. Miraculously, as I was doing some research and looking into the family tree, I found that one of her relatives (a descendent of Ada’s aunt and uncle) had indeed been baptized in 1951! As I was considering Grandma Ada's desire and navigating among her distant relatives on FamilySearch.org, I clicked on a “random” individual. This person, Emma Katherine Knepper (1907–1978, FamilySearch ID: KWCK-X92), a child of Ada's second cousin, was baptized in 1951, endowed in the Salt Lake Temple in 1960, and died in 1978! I don’t know if Ada knew Emma Katherine or not. However, it appears that Ada’s longed-for desire of her relatives joining the Restored Church is being fulfilled!
