What is Temple and family history?
From the General Handbook is basically comes down to 'Make, Discover, Go':
Temple and family history work is the means for uniting and sealing families for eternity (see Matthew 16:19). This work includes:
- Making covenants as we receive our own temple ordinances (see Isaiah 55:3; Doctrine and Covenants 84:19–23).
- Discovering our deceased ancestors and performing ordinances for them in the temple so they can make covenants with God (see Malachi 4:5–6; 1 Corinthians 15:29; Doctrine and Covenants 128:15–18).
- Going to the temple regularly, where possible, to worship God and perform ordinances for His children (see Luke 24:52–53; Doctrine and Covenants 109:13–14).
Remember as was mentioned last week: start with a small and simple goal that is either a Temple goal or a family history goal. Make it your own, not what you think someone expects and work from there.
