“We would do well to study the 109th section of the Doctrine and Covenants and to follow President [Howard W.] Hunter’s admonition ‘to establish the temple of the Lord as the great symbol of [our] membership’” (Quentin L. Cook, “See Yourself in the Temple,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2016, 99).
“The end for which each of us strives is to be endowed with power in a house of the Lord, sealed as families, faithful to covenants made in a temple that qualify us for the greatest gift of God—that of eternal life. The ordinances of the temple and the covenants you make there are key to strengthening your life, your marriage and family, and your ability to resist the attacks of the adversary. Your worship in the temple and your service there for your ancestors will bless you with increased personal revelation and peace and will fortify your commitment to stay on the covenant path” (Russell M. Nelson, “As We Go Forward Together,” Ensign, Apr. 2018, 7).

Commit:
I will set a date to attend the temple if I have a temple recommend. If I do not have a temple recommend, I will set a meeting with my bishop or branch president to renew my recommend or discuss how I can prepare to receive my temple ordinances.
