  5. Thoughts to Ponder

  6. Completion of required ordinances “We want the Latter-day Saints from this time to trace their genealogies as far as they can, and to be sealed to their fathers and mothers. Have children sealed to their parents, and run this chain through as far as you can get it…This is the will of the Lord to this people” (The Discourses of Wilford Woodruff, 157). President Wilford Woodruff

  7. Pray to the Lord to open the way “Let us think over these things, and pray to the Lord to open the way, and the way will be opened by which we will learn about our ancestors. And when the time comes that we have done all we can in a natural way, the veil will be drawn aside, and the Priesthood behind the veil will minister to the Priesthood in the flesh, and reveal many things that we could not ordinarily obtain knowledge of here; but we will get them by this kind of revelation” (Penrose, “Salvation for the Dead,” 18). President Charles W. Penrose

  21. Conclusion

  22. Completion of required ordinances “Get a cardboard box. Any kind of a box will do. Put it some place where it is in the way, perhaps on the couch or on the counter in the kitchen—anywhere where it cannot go unnoticed. Then, over a period of a few weeks, collect and put into the box every record of your life, such as your birth certificate, your certificate of blessing, your certificate of baptism, your certificate of ordination, your certificate of graduation. Collect diplomas, all of the photographs, honors, or awards, a dairy if you have kept one, everything that you can find pertaining to your life; anything that is written, or registered, or recorded that testifies that you are alive and what you have done. “Don’t try to do this in a day. Take some time on it…Gather all these papers together and put them in the box” (Packer, The Holy Temple, 232-33). President Boyd K. Packer

  23. Accelerated family history work “Going hand in hand with this increased temple activity is an increase in our family history work. The computer in its various ramifications is accelerating the work, and people are taking advantage of the new techniques being offered to them. How can one escape the conclusion that the Lord is in all of this? As computer facilities improve, the number of temple grows to accommodate the accelerated family history work” (Hinckley, “Welcome to Conference,” 4-5). President Gordon B. Hinckley

  24. Completion of required ordinances “The exaltation of our Father’s children rests upon the completion of required ordinances, if all are to move forward on the road that leads to immortality and eternal life. The determination of accurate family history records and the work which follows in the temple are basic in this vast undertaking which the Lord has placed upon our shoulders” (Hinckley, “The State of the Church,” 52). President Gordon B. Hinckley
