On page 13. Can you read that, Zayna?

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers. Malachi 456.

And so that's why you're looking to to figure out who your ancestors were, where,

and what they went through. And at the same time, they're also relying on us, you know,

to be able to perform these proxy baptisms for them so they can be able to, you know,

receive these ordinances and gain salvation pictures. And the pamphlets really make the temple comfortable for them, and they become more excited and committed to it because they know what it looks like

and they see how beautiful it is. The pamphlets helped us a lot to be able to be organized, you know, as missionaries, as we were teaching. And it helped us as well to be able to make the connections as we were going from principle to principle.

So if you'll turn to the next page, you'll see this family tree. It says, fill in as many names as you can remember. Think about which deceased ancestor you want to be baptized for first. Okay.

I've found a lot more names and every time I find one, it's like another piece of that puzzle. It's exciting to see my family tree like growing.

I'm proud of the fact that I will get to, you know, take their names into the temple. And it's really special for me being the only person in my family to be able to do that. It's like so exciting. Can you share maybe a little story or like what prompted you to, like, why do you remember their names or.

My mom's birth mother, she I never got to meet her. And my mom has, like, no memory of her because she passed away when my mom was four.

I am especially excited to do baptism for her because I feel like she, like,

never really got a chance to, like, live her life. That's awesome. Yeah.

Our invitation to you is to continue to fill this out, and then we'll go through next time, and we'll be able to put those names into the computer on FamilySearch.org, where you can print them out and take those names to the temple.

I feel like there are a lot of like, myths and sort of like stereotypes about this whole LDS religion. And one of them that I was told was like, what goes on in the temples is a secret. So I thought it clarified a lot of that for me. And today especially that lesson was it took all the mystery out of it.
