Today in Young Women's we talked about family history. My leader had us do an activity, half of the class wrote letters to their posterity (the other half of the class) as if they were in Spirit Prison because they never had the opportunity to have the saving ordinances. In the letters, they expressed their love for us and told us how much it would mean to them if we could find their names and take them to the temple.
It made me realize that our ancestors probably are up their behind the bars of Spirit prison, waiting for us to set them free. So why aren't we doing anything? When I read my "letter" I felt bad that they were up their suffering, because I haven't taken the time to listen to the Spirit and find their names to take to the temple. But, it also made me feel hopeful that their is still time to break them free of their bonds. So that they have the opportunity to accept Christ and His gospel and see all of their family again.
I am so grateful for the blessings of the temple, technology, family history, and eternal families. I love this gospel so much and am thankful for it in my life. My family is the best anyone could ask for, and I have amazing friends. I've been blessed with so many things and to top it all off, I got my Young Womanhood recognition award today! Hope you all have a fabulous week!
Love,
Kenzie
