Thoughts to Ponder

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 itThis is
the will of the Lord to this people (The
Discourses of Wilford Woodruff, 157).
President Wilford Woodruff

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

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
kitchenanywhere 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. Dont try to do this in a day. Take some
time on itGather all these papers together and
put them in the box (Packer, The Holy Temple,
232-33).
President Boyd K. Packer

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

Completion of required ordinances
The exaltation of our Fathers 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
