Next Speaker

“Service in the temple together is a sublime activity for a family. It provides its own sustaining motivation and verification of the truth of this unique work.” (Elder Russell M. Nelson, “The Spirit of Elijah”, October 1994 General Conference)


Elders Quorum 

The lesson was based on these two conference talks:  Be True to God and His Work By Elder Quentin L. Cook and This Day By Elder Ronald A. Rasband

"[Heber C Kimball] continued: ‘To meet the difficulties that are coming, it will be necessary for you to have a knowledge of the truth of this work for yourselves. The difficulties will be of such a character that the man or woman who does not possess this personal knowledge or witness will fall.’" - Elder Cook


The teacher quoted from the book"Gathering Israel” by Gary Coleman. 


“President Nelson gave members profound counsel on repentance at the April 2019 general conference.  He made it clear that daily repentance is integral to our lives. ‘Repentance is not an event; it is a process. It is the key to happiness and peace of mind,’ he taught. ‘Daily repentance is the pathway to purity, and purity brings power.’”


“President Joseph Fielding Smith taught: ‘Impressions on the soul that come from the Holy Ghost are far more significant than a vision. When Spirit speaks to spirit, the imprint upon the soul is far more difficult to erase.’”


Alma 11:42-44

42 Now, there is a death which is called a temporal death; and the death of Christ shall loose the bands of this temporal death, that all shall be raised from this temporal death.


43 The spirit and the body shall be reunited again in its perfect form; both limb and joint shall be restored to its proper frame, even as we now are at this time; and we shall be brought to stand before God, knowing even as we know now, and have a bright recollection of all our guilt.


44 Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the body, and shall be brought and be arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil.
