Connection
Something about going to the temple
And doing work for family from Australia and England
All dressed in white, the color of all the rainbow
Being greeted by a Tongan Sister
Ushered in with the speed and urgency of a Latina Sister
Being blessed by the rhythmic cadence of a sister from Africa
Having PHM “Connection” playing in my mind as I recall about the Golden Record flying through space
Passing through time and eternity, linking all people of earth in their desire to connect
And how that mirrors what I feel, what I picture, when I think of my human family in the temple

I love this so much! The first time I saw this, the first thing I thought was happiness is a choice, and it is YOURS to make.
Just because there are others who may have more than you do, doesn’t mean you should start feeling bad about yourself. Rather, you should count your blessings on what you do have and think of what matters the most to you. Being happy for someone else can bring you just as much happiness.
As they say, counting blessings is much better than counting problems or other negativity. Always be positive and stay happy! Build your own happiness and strive to be Christ like!
Follow the example of the Savior!
Be an example others would want to follow!
Keep Sweet: Prey and Obey was so horrifying but I couldn’t look away. Men will do anything in the name of God to justify absolutely heinous actions. The followers have nothing left to do but watch. They are isolated and are taught to put all their faith in one man, as if that doesn’t go against The Bible and it’s teachings of not following false idols. Religion is flawed in of itself bc it’s man made and cults like LDS fundies take it to the extreme. This is why I will never stand behind organized religion.
Literally anyone who knows a little about Mormons but only the well known weird stuff: "Oh yeah thats a cult"
The internet as a whole: "Oh yeah I trust your unbiased opinion."
Me: "Have you guys ever looked at other religions? Or even actual cults? It's not a cult."
The Internet: "You only say that because you're a brainwashed member of it let us help you escape it."
Me: "Bro wtf I'm just askin to not be called a cultist like I'm some npc in skyrim cause it hurts my feelings."
29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
1 Corinthians 15:29
I think that God’s plan to provide salvation for those who never got the opportunity in this life really shows his Mercy and his perfect Justice. How unfair would it be if those who had never heard of Jesus Christ were condemned because they never were baptized. But we know that after death, in the “spirit world” as we await the resurrection and Christ’s second coming, that the gospel is preached by the spirits of the righteous to the spirits of the wicked/those who never heard the gospel. As they do not have bodies, we are blessed in the restored Church of Jesus Christ to be baptized in holy temples on their behalf and provide them the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as their saviour.
(For those curious or confused, being baptized for the dead doesn’t automatically force that person to accept Christ or His gospel. We believe that their spirit still has the ability to accept or reject the ordinance on their behalf, but since we can’t really speak to spirits we just do the baptisms and hope they accept the gift :) also this is why we have such a focus on family history so we can find our relatives and ancestors and be baptized and do ordinances for them)
