SALT LAKE CITY — On the verge of divorce, the Jess family of Springfield, Illinois, was about to give up. Leaders in their church challenged them to try one more thing to try to save their marriage and strengthen the relationships they have with their children — family history work.

“When our family started to learn about family history, it led us on a journey which helped us in so many other ways,” said Scott Jess.

In the new video "Turn Our Hearts,” see what happens over the course of several months as the Jess family engages in family history work and why family members say this work ultimately saved their family.
