“The Work of the Temple and Family History—One and the Same Work” by Benjamín De Hoyos

40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 16

QUOTE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST:

 “I know this is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, whom we remember and venerate at this Easter time. I know He loves us, and when we keep our covenants and put our confidence in Him, He endows us with His healing and strengthening power.

Benjamín De Hoyos

SCRIPTURE:

And we ask thee, Holy Father, that thy servants may go forth from this house armed with thy power, and that thy name may be upon them, and thy glory be round about them, and thine angels have charge over them;

-Doctrine and Covenants 109:22

INSPIRING QUOTE:

Since the early days of the Restoration, faithful Saints have made many sacrifices to receive temple ordinances and covenants.

Benjamín De Hoyos

INVITATION TO ACT:

Dear brothers and sisters, the Lord encourages us as members of His Church to preserve our own family history, to learn from our ancestors, and to make the necessary arrangements for them to receive the ordinances of the gospel in the temples to help them to progress along the covenant path, which will bless them with an eternal family. That is a central focus of the plan of our Heavenly Father: uniting family for this life and for eternity.

Benjamín De Hoyos

A PROMISED BLESSING:

As we follow the guidance of the prophets and learn how to do our family history and perform the temple ordinances for our ancestors, we will experience great joy to the point that we will not want to stop doing it. The Spirit will flood our hearts, awaken our faculties to do it, and guide us as we search for the names of our ancestors. But let us remember that family history is more than just looking for names, dates, and places. It is uniting families and feeling the joy that comes from extending to them the ordinances of the gospel.

Benjamín De Hoyos
