2025 Invitations

This year, our invitations will be a little different than they have in the past. Instead of the monthly or quarterly emphasis that we have issued in the past, this year our overall emphasis is to worship in the temple regularly. As we do this, each month we will post here one or two of the promises President Nelson has made ". . .about Time in the Temple."

Also we are going to leave portions of President Nelson's talk from last October's General Conference at the bottom of this page throughout the year.

February's promise

2. It will help open the heavens.

“Nothing opens the heavens quite like the combination of increased purity, exact obedience, earnest seeking, daily feasting on the words of Christ in the Book of Mormon, and regular time committed to temple and family history work.” 

By the way: Don't forget to take 3 minutes and register for RootsTech March 6-8, 2025. Registration is free for online participation and now available on the RootsTech website which can also be reached from the FamilySearch website. The schedule is now available so you can schedule which classes you wish to attend.

The link to his whole talk: — “Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives,” April 2018 general conference

Just a little bit of his talk follows: 

One of the things the Spirit has repeatedly impressed upon my mind since my new calling as President of the Church is how willing the Lord is to reveal His mind and will. The privilege of receiving revelation is one of the greatest gifts of God to His children.

Imagine the miracle of it! Whatever our Church calling, we can pray to our Heavenly Father and receive guidance and direction, be warned about dangers and distractions, and be enabled to accomplish things we simply could not do on our own. If we will truly receive the Holy Ghost and learn to discern and understand His promptings, we will be guided in matters large and small.

Does God really want to speak to you? Yes! “As well might man stretch forth his puny arm to stop the Missouri river in its decreed course … as to hinder the Almighty from pouring down knowledge from heaven upon the heads of the Latter-day Saints.”
