It has definitely been awhile since I began this blog. As I look back on the last month I have been overwhelmed with the information I have received from General Authorities and the scriptures on eternal families. Right now my mind has been absorbed in the eternal nature of God. We have had a lot of lessons and readings on this and it has opened my mind more and more as to who our Father is and how powerful and omnipotent He really is. Also that He was once as we are now. He went through the same mortal experience and faced the same choices we do.
The other thing is that the purpose of everything is the formation of eternal families. Without the sealing power of the priesthood to create families there is no reason for the creation, for Adam and Eve. For anything. The whole plan is that we can return to our Heavenly Father as Eternal Families!!! Wow!
It changes how I look at the ordinances being done in the temple. Since I get to be a participate in some of these ordinances it becomes so clear how important it is that we do this work for our dead.
I also look forward to the millennium and being able to do the Lord's work unimpeded by Satan.
I have a new hope and will strive to find my ancestors so that I can do their work.
