and that’s with being the only member of the Church in his family — WOW!
When my grandmother died quite a few years ago at the age of 94, she had 6 children, 35 grandchildren, 105 great-grandchildren and ?? great-great grandchildren – so I know of 146 direct descendants at that time. I don’t know what the number of great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren is now, but it’s much higher.
I am positive my own comparable progeny will not number that high, but it’s sobering to consider even just the personal implications of our theology.
