Here’s your daily dose of what matters most! Temples are about families. Our covenants impact our family lives and help us prepare for eternity.
Scripture
And it came to pass that when they came up to the temple, they pitched their tents round about, every man according to his family, consisting of his wife, and his sons, and his daughters, and their sons, and their daughters, from the eldest down to the youngest, every family being separate one from another.—Mosiah 2:5
Quote
By keeping the temple covenants, all of God’s children may be exalted. I say again that we go to the temple to make the covenants, but we go home to keep those covenants.—J Ballard Washburn
