The generations on either side of me link me to my past and my future. My view of family history involves revealing the roots and the branches.

Throughout this blog you will find perspectives related to the doctrines of temple and family history work from revealed revelation given to living prophets of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Circumstances A Thousand Times More Favorable

"Here {spirit world} those who did not have an opportunity in mortality to receive the gospel and those who had a partial opportunity but rejected it will be taught.

“In 1893, President Lorenzo Snow, then president of the Quorum of the Twelve, declared in general conference his strong belief “that when the Gospel is preached to the spirits in prison, the success of that preaching will be far greater than that of the preaching of our Elders in this life. I believe there will be very few indeed of those spirits who will not gladly receive the Gospel when it is carried to them. The circumstances there will be a thousand times more favorable.” (Millennial Star 56:50.)”

– Dale C. Mouritsen, “The Spirit World, Our Next Home,” Ensign, January 1977.
