Sorry the computer wasn't working yesterday in class! Here are the quotes that we missed out on reading.
“Ordinances and covenants become our credentials for admission into [the Father’s] presence. To worthily receive them is the quest of a lifetime; to keep them thereafter is the challenge of mortality. Once we have received them for ourselves and for our families, we are obligated to provide these ordinances vicariously for our kindred dead, indeed for the whole human family”
-President Boyd K. Packer
Temple and family history work unites families. Husbands and wives, parents and children can be sealed through sacred temple ordinances. The goal of this process is that “the whole of God’s family is welded together into one [unbroken] chain”
(Joseph F. Smith, Millennial Star, Aug. 26, 1906,628–29).
Thank you for your efforts in learning about and doing family history. Let us all help God weld His family together by continuing to find our ancestors and do their temple work!
