See Yourself in the Temple

See yourself in the Temple is the topic of Quentin L. Cook's 2016 April Conference talk. This talk is the subject of my 4th Sunday Relief Society Lesson this month. This is a long talk - I will more than likely have to pick and choose the best parts of this talk because it is about 5 pages long in a normal 14 pt font.

This talk isn't just for people that haven't gone to the Temple yet. This talk is for EVERYONE! If you have a recommend - this talk is for you! If you have a recommend but you have and/or haven't gone in a while, this talk is for you. If you are less active and need to renew your recommend and return to Church this talk is for you. If you have recently joined the Church, this talk is for you. If you are investigating the Church, this talk is for you!! Seriously!!

This talk is for each of us to See Ourselves in the Temple, A little history of the Temple and then a Challenge to See Myself in the Temple. He talks about promises and blessings given to the Saints and discusses how blessed we are to live at this time. He also discusses How Do We Prepare for the Temple and how the Atonement of Christ makes it possible for us to be forgiven of the sins that might keep us from thinking we are worthy to attend the Temple. He reminds us that our ability to go in the Temple is based on our Self Certification when answering the Temple Recommend Questions with our Bishopric and Stake Presidency Member. We have to fully forgive ourselves. This is key. One of my favorite quotes is "The Lord Organizes Eternal Families in the Temple" - What a great reminder. No where else is this remotely possible!!

I add my testimony of Temple work to his and again use his Challenge of See Yourself in the Temple for all of us to grow closer to Heavenly Father.

This is the handout that I am going to use for my lesson. I will print it in color in a 4x6 size for each member of our Relief Society. I am going to use Sams Club :) They are pretty economical!

Email me and I will send you the pdf of this handout. Usually I do it in a full size and a 4x6 or 3x5 size that is 4 to a page.  I am going to print out one in a poster size for our loft area. This is a great visual for my children to see everyday!


Make it a great one!
