Pray to Find Them

Your ancestors are being taught the gospel in the spirit world, and they need your help. When you exercise faith, God can inspire you to find their information needed for the temple. As Quentin L. Cook taught, you should not “underestimate the influence of the deceased in assisting your efforts” (“Roots and Branches,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2014, 46–47).

Possible Activities

  • Pray to be led to find your ancestors who have accepted the gospel in the spirit world but haven’t been baptized yet.

  • Pray frequently that you can be a gatherer in this great work and that you can help God’s children receive the gospel.

  • Make a plan to act; consider family or ward members who can help you.
