Elder Scott recently stated to the youth “Immerse yourself in searching for your ancestors, prepare their names for the sacred vicarious ordinances available in the temple, and then go to the temple to stand as proxy for them to receive the ordinances of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. As you grow older you will be able to participate in receiving the other ordinances as well. I can think of no greater protection from the influence of the adversary in your life."
I agree with Elder Scott.
Why does this combination of searching out those who have gone before, then taking those names to the temple carry such power, for the youth as well as adults?
I have had several personal and great experiences, I would even go so far as to use the word "miracles", while searching out the names of our family and taking them to the temple. These were far more powerful experiences than mere coincidence.
If you want some wonderful and sacred experiences, search out your ancestors and take their names to the temple - those experiences will come. Is all it takes is a little desire and a willingness to actually do something (act). If nothing else, just login to the website below and start going through your history.
