Presidency Message: “Rejoice in the blessings of the temple, understand our divine destiny, and strive for exaltation.”
Teacher: Michelle Cordova
Temples are for the living to “prove themselves herewith” in learning obedience. The dead are benefited only once. Members are benefited every time they enter in God’s holy house.
Mary Ellen Smoot— “We see sisters who rejoice in the blessings of the temple – sisters who seek to make and keep their covenants, do work for their kindred dead, and in the process find their own loads lifted and their power to resist temptation fortified, daughters of God who understand their divine destiny, catch a vision of their potential, and focus on overcoming weaknesses.”
Patricia T. Holland—“On those days when I feel off center, out of focus, or off balance, when I feel that I don’t have enough time, insight, or strength to solve my problems, I know that comfort is as close as the temple.”
Elder Quentin L. Cook—”I pray that each of us will honor the Savior and make any necessary changes to see ourselves in His sacred temples. In doing so, we can accomplish His holy purposes and prepare ourselves and our families for all the blessings the Lord and His Church can bestow in this life and eternity. ”
Weekly Challenge: Attend the temple this week, or spend an hour working on family history or doing some indexing.
