Immersion in the scriptures is essential for spiritual nourishment

And whoso is found a faithful, a just, and a wise steward shall enter into the joy of his Lord, and shall inherit eternal life.

God’s plan provides a way for family relationships to extend beyond the grave. We can return to the presence of God, eternally united with our families.

Our women are not incredible because they have managed to avoid the difficulties of life—quite the opposite. They are incredible because of the way they face the trials of life. Despite the challenges and tests life has to offer—from marriage or lack of marriage, children’s choices, poor health, lack of opportunities, and many other problems—they remain remarkably strong and immovable and true to the faith. Our sisters throughout the Church consistently “succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees.

Our doctrinal obligation is to our own ancestors. This is because the celestial organization of heaven is based on families.

We need to be connected to both our roots and branches. The thought of being associated in the eternal realm is indeed glorious.
