QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Now let me say something to all who can worthily go to the house of the Lord. When you attend the temple and perform the ordinances that pertain to the house of the Lord, certain blessings will come to you. You will receive the spirit of Elijah, which will turn your hearts to your spouse, to your children, and to your forbears. You will love your family with a deeper love than you have loved before. You will be endowed with power from on high as the Lord has promised." (Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 254)
