Come and Partake of All the Blessings of His Sacred and Holy Temple

I Will Follow God’s Plan

My life is a gift; my life has a plan.

My life has a purpose; in heav'n it began.

My choice was to come to this lovely home on earth

And seek for God's light to direct me from birth.

I will follow God's plan for me,

Holding fast to his word and his love.

I will work, and I will pray;

I will always walk in his way.

Then I will be happy on earth

And in my home above.

—Vanja Y. Watkins

Have you ever thought of your life as

a gift, carefully wrapped with a plan

and purpose, inspired and designed

by our Father in Heaven before we

came to earth?

What a beautiful and singular event it is when a child

is brought into this life, fresh from a loving Father in

Heaven, with her heart full of hope and desire for a

glorious journey during this life,…

His vessels, clean and pure, arms linked together with

each family member as an eternal unit.

Only a loving and merciful Father in

Heaven would have such a beautiful plan

prepared for each of His children to come

to this earth, just as this beautiful song,

“I Will Follow God’s Plan,”

teaches us.

“I Will Follow God’s Plan!”

Having been taught vital principles before our

earth life, we then set sail with our eyes veiled from

remembrance, with a determined spirit to embark

on an exciting journey full of faith.

We knew life would not be easy, that there would

be challenging torrents ahead, but well worth

all of our very best efforts.

We would rely heavily at first on loving and

anxious parents, whose desire was to love,

nurture and teach us of the Lord…


…until someday we were able to stand independent,

strong, steadfast in the Lord and immovable, more

fully understanding the blessings of our covenants

and our purpose here on earth.

…gives us beautiful direction and

motivation as we act upon three areas of

focus that will be highlighted throughout

this conference in a most inspiring way.

We appreciate that you have

“come” and will “partake”

of our beautiful messages this day.

COME

&

PARTAKE

Our three areas of focus are:

Bringing Eternal Life to Our Ancestors

Through Family History

Rejoicing in Our Journey to the Temple

Recognizing the Blessings and Joy of

Temple Worship

The Bible Dictionary states - A temple is

literally a house of the Lord, a holy sanctuary

in which sacred ceremonies and ordinances of

the gospel are performed by and for the living

and also in behalf of the dead. A place where

the Lord may come, it is the most holy of any

place of worship on the earth. Only the home

can compare with the temple in sacredness.

Throughout this past year, our stake anxiously

awaited, prepared and looked forward to the

Ogden Temple rededication...

Increasing Temple

Attendance

The Stake’s effort in family history have dramatically increased,

and there is great hope that we can continue to do much more.


Last spring our stake Relief Society

involved the Primary, Young Women and

Relief Society sisters by making white

handkerchiefs for all women eight years

and older in our stake, as a sacred

reminder of the temple and for the

rededication of the Ogden temple.

For five weeks, the church held an Open

House for the newly remodeled Ogden

Temple, where approximately 550,000

individuals and families throughout the

world attended, literally touching the

spirit of the temple.

The youth also experienced a most transformative

experience on September 20th, 2014, the day before

the rededication of the Ogden Temple, by

participating in the Ogden Temple Cultural

Celebration, “Share the Light.” This event brought

together 16,000 youth from 75 stakes, where they

danced, sang, honored and captured the spirit and

blessings of the temple. Our youth will never forget

their experience that day.

On September 21st, stakes throughout

Utah were invited to participate in the

rededication from their stake centers, and

many others were actually able to attend in

one of the three sessions at the Ogden

Temple. The spirit felt that day, and

messages received, testified of the grand and

glorious purposes of our temples.

With our Stake Relief Society temple

theme in mind throughout this past year,

I was enlightened more recently when my

husband and I took a trip in August of

2014 to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to visit my

parents, Elden & Picola Wood, who were

serving their 7th French-speaking mission, the

last three being temple missions.

As we traveled with my parents throughout

the pristine and beautiful provinces of

Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island,

viewing countless landscapes and beautiful

edifices dating back to the 1600s,

I was continually inspired on our temple

theme throughout our trip.


Old Town Halifax, NS

Lunenburg Bay, PEI

Prince Edward Island

The beauty of this country mesmerized

me, and I was amazed by the rich and

profound history of every city we visited

and deeply touched by the memorials of

those who had lost their lives in the

pursuit of religious freedom.


Fort Point LaHave, dating from 1604

Memorial for the Acadians at Grand Pré

We were in awe of the

beautiful oceans and inlets

throughout.


Inlet by Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse, Nova Scotia

Most fascinating were

the towering and

illuminating lighthouses

all along the shores.


Victoria Lighthouse, Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia is an international

shipping port, where we saw

enormous and massive ships, while

others were of much smaller

proportion, each having a purpose

and destination.


Old Town Halifax, Nova Scotia

As we continued our journey in Nova

Scotia & Prince Edward Island, I

began to uncover parallels in our own

lives as passengers on a great seafaring

ship, or perhaps travelers on a much

smaller boat, each vessel taking their

one and only maiden voyage.

Lighthouses are so intriguing. They are

a stark and beautiful symbol. Their

purposes were to be a navigational guide

and a warning to boats of dangerous

areas. Their bright lights acted as a

beacon to bring the boats safely home.

Because of modern technologies,

most lighthouses are not

used in our day, but they still

stand as monumental reminders

of how important and necessary

they once were.

Photo taken by Renée PackerPeggy’s Cove Lighthouse, Nova Scotia

Symbolically they are very similar to temples. They

are a beacon of light to help bring us safely home.

Temples testify of sacred and holy blessings the Lord

has given us in these latter days. The temple

protects, guides, unites, and testifies of His love for

each of us. Its beacon light stands as a monument

to the world, that if they will look to the lighthouse

of the Lord, they will find safety and peace

in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

How are we

“Bringing

Eternal Life

to our Ancestors through

Family History?”

With the increasing rate of temples being built, it is vital that we

increase our own efforts in this work. The youth are anxiously

engaged in this cause. We sisters need to catch up with them. We

have been asked to search our own family records and learn the

stories from our past, and as we do, we will connect with our

ancestors and feel their spirits guiding us to help accomplish their

temple work. Many of you are on board, sailing away with great

enthusiasm. Some of us need to do much more, and as we do, we

will find ourselves captivated, engrossed in a work that will bless

our family beyond our greatest expectations. The work of

salvation is active and ongoing on both sides of the veil. We

cannot stop this work, so let’s jump on board and start rowing.

In preparation for our trip to Nova Scotia, knowing we

would be attending the Halifax temple, my husband

prompted us to begin yet another search for names to bring

with us. Even though it appears that my parents’ lines

are nearly complete, I continue to find pockets of family

names that have not yet been discovered. Feeling

impressed to search on my father’s line, before long I found

several names that we could bring with us. Because of

our time constraint, I never took the time to learn more

about the names that I had researched.

Photo taken by Renée PackerHalifax Nova Scotia Temple

The day after we arrived, we spent a glorious day

in the Halifax Temple. I was filled with

gratitude for the blessing of attending the temple

where my parents were serving. When we

arrived, my husband took out the folder with the

files to be printed, promptly giving them to the

recorder who then printed the cards. My

husband then gave me one of the cards that

needed the endowment completed.

While looking at the card, I first carefully glanced at

the name: Catherine Gumb, born July 2, 1869.

I then looked at her place of birth and whispered,

“I believe there’s a mistake here.”

I looked again and gasped, and said,

“No, this is not a mistake, this woman was actually

born in Halifax, Nova Scotia.”

At this point, my husband, my parents and the

recorders, Elder and Sister Poelman, had all heard what

I had just expressed, and they too were in awe that of

all the names I could have searched, and of all the

temples we happened to be visiting, that I had found a

name of an ancestor who was born in the very city of

the temple where we would perform these special

ordinances. Her baptism, confirmation and initiatory

work had previously been completed 13 years prior in

the Cardston, Alberta Temple.

I believe that Catherine Gumb had patiently waited,

knowing full well that my parents would be serving in the

temple of her birth and that I would be directed to find her

name and accomplish more of her work in the Halifax

Temple, where she was born. After two wonderful

endowment sessions, one of which was for Catherine, my

husband and I joined my parents and a member of the

Temple Presidency, President Roy Bush, who performed the

sealing, as my father and I acted as proxies for Catherine

and her husband, Alpheus Smith. Three weeks later, we

performed the sealing to her parents in the Bountiful Temple.

Joy filled our hearts, knowing that a family had been united.

At times, you might hear a story of an

ancestor that you feel drawn to, prompting

you to gather the information needed to

provide her with the blessings of eternal life.

As you begin to research your family

history, you will find yourself connected to

your ancestors, and they will guide your

hands and hearts to them.

Often the stories of our ancestors have

not yet been written, just like that of

Catherine Gumb. Your search for your

ancestors will create a story worth

sharing. Take time to document your

experiences. After writing the story of my

experience with Catherine, I then

submitted her story on Family Search.

So, what about the millions of our ancestors who lived

on earth not having received the fullness of the gospel

blessings and sealing ordinances? The work of

salvation is in full force on both sides of the veil. They

are being taught gospel truths and are ready right now,

and many have been ready for a very, very long time.

What are they waiting for? Why can’t they move

forward to receive these beautiful saving ordinances

on their own if they are ready?

What were those promises we made to our fathers?

And he shall turn the heart of the

fathers to the children, and the heart of

the children to their fathers, lest I come

and smite the earth with a curse.

— Malachi 4:6

We promised that we would turn

our hearts to our fathers and do for

them what they cannot do

for themselves.

God’s beautiful plan was to have us

perform their work. By doing so, we

too would keep our hearts and minds

turned heavenward, having the

countless blessings of the temple in our

hearts at all times.

“And now, my dearly beloved brethren and sisters,

let me assure you that these are principles in

relation to the dead and the living that cannot be

lightly passed over, as pertaining to our salvation.

For their salvation is necessary and essential to our

salvation, as Paul says concerning the fathers—that

they without us cannot be made perfect—neither can

we without our dead be made perfect.”

—D&C 128:15

If you have not yet started on this path of

searching for your ancestors, whether you have a

temple recommend or not, listen to what Elder

Richard G. Scott has to say:

“Do you want a sure way to eliminate the

influence of the adversary in your life? Immerse

yourself in searching for your ancestors.”

Who wouldn’t want these protective blessings?

Temple service is one of the most charitable acts there

is. Throughout the lives of my paternal grandparents,

Roy and Stella Wood, we witnessed faithfulness at

every level. Their examples of this faith inspired me,

in the raising of their family, in their church service,

doing family history work, as temple workers, serving

in the community, and serving several missions. Each

of these areas standing as a hallmark, a beacon to our

whole family to follow emulating a light of eternal joy.

Roy and Stella Wood

Renée Packer’s Paternal Grandparents

My parents followed this path and are also

a beacon to their posterity. The blessings

and legacy we pass on is determined by our

choices of today. My greatest desire and

that of my posterity is to follow in this

path of righteousness.

I love the poem my grandmother

Stella Wood

wrote nearly 70 years that

relates service to the temple.

ServiceIf you really would be happy, as you journey on your way,

Try to render loving service, to your fellowmen each day.

If you need a ray of sunshine, and so tiresome seems your road,

Try to aid someone who’s weary, and help share his heavy load.

Service even beckons to us, let us heed its urgent call

Let us hasten then to answer, with love and charity for all.

There are many kinds of service, but to us there comes a plea

From our kin who’ve long departed, from this earth’s activity.

They who did not have the privilege, to obey the Gospel plea;

Are waiting now, with anxious hearts, and beckoning unto thee.

We must hasten to the Temple, for we seem to hear their prayer

And we know we’ve loved ones waiting, waiting, waiting--over there.

— Stella Sudweeks Wood

How are we

“Rejoicing in Our

Journey to the Temple?”

Do we remember that our life is a gift, a gift

to prepare us for eternal salvation?

Have we graciously accepted the gift our

Father in Heaven has given us?

“For what doth it profit a man if a

gift is bestowed upon him, and he

receive not the gift? Behold, he

rejoices not in that which is given

unto him, neither rejoices in him who

is the giver of the gift.”

— Doctrine & Covenants 88:33

The more we learn about what the gift

provides, that of eternal life, we will

indeed begin to rejoice. We will no longer

worry that we’re not as far on our journey

as others, but that we’re all rowing,

making the efforts, and feeling the Lord’s

wind behind our sail.

Elder Russell M. Nelson taught: “The

temple is the object of every activity, every

lesson, every progressive step in the

Church… As temples are prepared for the

people, the people need to prepare

themselves for the temple.”

As we make a continual effort in our journey to the

temple, we will more easily be able to stay on course,

fight away the enticements to swim only in shallow

waters, and see the beacon ahead and know there is

safety in the Lord’s temple. We will more easily be

able to discern truth amidst the lures that steer our

ship in different directions. We will see our

baptismal covenants as the beginning of a greater

understanding of the power of the atonement. We

will know which direction we are facing.

While visiting in Nova Scotia, my

father told me of a man that he met in

Paris, France, while my father was

serving his first mission. The man was

from Armenia and his name was

Piotre Jakovian. This is the true

story he told my father.

Elder Elden L. Wood

Elder Elden L. Wood serving in the Paris, France Mission, leaving behind his wife and two children for two-and-a-half years.

Piotre Jakovian had been drafted by the

Russian army during World War II. He was

later captured by the Germans, and in a most

miraculous way, escaped the firing squad.

Though all thought he was dead, he quietly

escaped during the night and found clothing off

of a clothes line, then making his way to

France as a free man.

While living in France, Piotre was baptized a

member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-

day Saints. One day as he was talking to some of

his Armenian friends, who all belonged to the

Greek Roman Church, they asked Piotre a

question. “Why would you leave the Greek Roman

Church, with its large and beautiful buildings and

splendid ceremonies, and attend a church that

is so small, and almost nonexistent?”

Piotre then stated, “Let me ask you a

question. If you were going to make an

important and huge ocean voyage across a

large sea of water and had the choice of

taking a luxurious liner or a row boat that

you would have to row yourself, which one

would you choose?” “Of course, we would

choose the luxurious liner,” they laughed.

Then Piotre quietly shared, “Not if the

cruise liner had a hole in it and your only

way crossing the ocean safely was in the

small row boat.” “Of course we would

take the row boat!” they relented. “Well,

that’s what I have done,” said, Piotre.

“When we join The Church of Jesus Christ of

Latter-day Saints, we board the Good Ship

Zion and sail with her wherever she goes until

she comes into that millennial port. We stay in

the boat, through squalls and stills, through

storms and sunburn, because that is the only

way to the promised land.”

— Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

Just as Piotre Jakovian stood for truth and righteousness,

we each need to stand bravely amidst the storms of

adversity. This will come in and only through our devotion

to the Lord, not to the world. Though our journey at

times may seem calm, causing us to stop manning our

rudder, we all know that an ocean, that is our life, is filled

with storms and waves that warn of seemingly potential

destruction. We can be armed with an unseen power of

faith, a shield and protection from the storm as we

keep our eyes focused on the temple.

Even though a small boat on the ocean may seem

vulnerable to theses gigantic waves, rowing in circles is not

an option. We must continue to row forward using the

Temple, our lighthouse, as a beacon in the dark. As we

live in this world filled with opposition, temptation and

persuasive deceptions, we must carefully navigate through

the barrage of worldly enticements and trials that so often

could steer us away from the Lord’s call to safety, the

safety of the temple and all things that lead us to the

temple, which will ultimately bring us home.

How grateful we are to have the

blessings and security of our Father in

Heaven and Savior Jesus Christ

guiding and protecting us, helping to

take away our fears and darkness, but

we must keep on rowing!

How can

“Recognizing the

Blessings and Joy of

Temple Worship”

strengthen us?

As we read in Ezekiel 47:3-5, we are taught

a beautiful principle in temple worship. In

Ezekiel’s vision, he witnessed the water issuing

out from the temple, bringing life to everything

it touched, symbolically teaching us that this is

what the temple will do for us. The more we

engulf ourselves in temple work, the more we

will feel of its healing and life-sustaining

blessings distilled upon our souls.

“Just as the water coming from the temple

enlivens and heals all that it touches, temple

blessings also heal and enliven. These temple

blessings include enabling us to change; enabling

us to receive clear inspiration; enabling us to bear

trials; and enabling us to help our loved ones.

Modern day prophets have promised these

blessings to those who qualify for the temple.”

— LDS African Website

https://africase.lds.org/establishing-the-temple-as-the-great-symbol-of-membership

In The Beginning of Better Days, authors Sheri Dew and Virginia

Pearce shared this about our prophet Joseph Smith: “Just three

months before he was martyred, he made this defining statement:

‘We need the temple more than anything else.’” They continue:

“Some believed that a major reason the Relief Society was organized

was to prepare the sisters for the temple. Reynolds Cahoon, a

member of the Nauvoo Temple building committee, told the sisters

that ‘this Society is raised by the Lord to prepare us for the great

blessings which are for us in the House of the Lord.’

“As Joseph taught the sisters, the temple was clearly on his mind.

He implored them to be pure, to act in holiness, and to resist evil.

‘Meekness, love, purity, these are the things that should magnify us,’

he declared, promising, ‘If you will be pure, nothing can hinder.’”

“The purpose of the Relief

Society was to help the sisters

practice holiness…”

— The Prophet Joseph Smith

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that

will I seek after; that I may dwell in the

house of the Lord all the days of my life, to

behold the beauty of the Lord, and to

inquire in his temple.

— Psalms 27:4

One of my favorite scripture in the

Old Testament is found in Psalms. ________________

Pres. Thomas S. Monson shares with us,

“As we touch the temple and love the temple,

our lives will reflect our faith. As we go to

the holy house, as we remember the covenants

we make therein, we will be able to bear

every trial and overcome each temptation.”

— President Thomas S. Monson

I love taking a mental inventory of the

continual lessons I learn and the

blessings I receive from temple worship.

A mere recognizing of these blessings

causes our hearts to yearn for more

frequent efforts.

One of the most important blessings of the temple is to

receive and make sacred covenants. Among these

covenants is the highest and holy ordinance, that of the

sealing power, uniting husbands and wives and their

children together for time and all eternity. From the hands

of the prophet Elijah the sealing keys were given to Joseph

Smith on April 3, 1836, in the Kirtland Temple. Sisters,

every faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of

Latter-day Saints will receive all of the sealing blessings in

due time, no matter their marriage status at this time, as a

result of their faithfulness in the gospel and their

commitment to follow the Savior, Jesus Christ.

Perhaps some of you noticed a question we

posed on our stake Relief Society website that is

derived from Wendy Watson Nelson’s book

What Would a Holy Woman Do?

Holy women seek to fill their lives with holy

temple habits. They are striving to make pure

and clean vessels for the Lord.

One of the Young Women in our stake wrote this,

“I was hanging out with a couple of friends one night

and they wanted to watch a certain movie. Both of

my friends are not Mormon, so they put the movie in

and it was rated R. I was going to stay and watch it,

but then I thought to myself about what a holy

woman would do. I thought about what types of

words and images I could possibly hear and see, so I

called my brother to come pick me up.

I felt a lot better after I left.”

As I personally considered this question over a

matter of months, I noticed that my heart and mind

reflected upon more holy thoughts, made room for

more holy habits and exercised more holy acts of

kindness. Lastly, I felt a desire to turn my heart to

more holy learning in the temple. I have a long way

to go, but I now have a tool, a question to help my

heart and mind stay heavenward on my path.

Sisters, each of us can carry this same question

with us at all times, so that it acts as a sieve

and purifier of thoughts and deeds.

This is something each of us can do!

“What Would a Holy Woman Do?”

One of the most important thing a holy woman

can do is to act on compassionate feelings to lift

others around us, to be a Savior on Mount Zion.

We each have this unique responsibility. His

distinct charge for each of us is to watch over, care

for, love and serve one another and help each other

along the way. Young Women, you have been

prepared with special abilities to reach out and lift

others, just as you have watched your mothers care

for and love others along the way.

Brightly Beams Our Father’s Mercy________________

Brightly beams our Father's mercy

From his lighthouse evermore,

But to us he gives the keeping

Of the lights along the shore.

Let the lower lights be burning;

Send a gleam across the wave.

Some poor fainting, struggling [sister]

You may rescue, you may save.

—Text and music: Philip Paul Bliss, 1838-1876

What is our personal responsibility and purpose

on our journey throughout life? Do our actions

matter? Are there those who need our help on

this earth and on the other side of the veil? We

are the keepers of the lower lights, the watchman

on the tower, helping to lift and bring others

along the way. We are the Savior’s disciples,

the gleam across the wave.

There are many ways we can become involved in being

Saviors on Mount Zion and improving ourselves so that

we may be a light for others. Earlier this month, I was

excited to hear about a scouting award that was recently

opened for all genders and ages to earn that had a

wonderful connection to our "lighthouse" symbol for our

women's conference. My desire was to see if I could earn

this award prior to our conference so that I could invite

all women in our stake to see how they can make a

difference, as they learn these beautiful principles.

On January 20th, 2015, I was presented this special

Thomas S. Monson scouting award. Sister Dawn Harvey

from our Stake’s Angel Crossing Ward and her boss, Bro.

Mark Francis, the director over LDS/BSA, presented it to

me. Though it wasn’t a difficult award to earn, I was

grateful for the important lessons I gained and the

meaningful purposes behind this award. There is a special

focus on family history, family life, and other gospel and

scouting topics to understand and learn, plus two

powerful talks from Pres. Monson.

On the back of the award are President

Monson’s familiar words:

“Look to the lighthouse of the Lord. There is

no fog so dense, no night so dark, no gale so

strong, no mariner so lost but what its

beacon light can rescue.”

—Pres. Thomas S. Monson

The Temple, the Lighthouse of the Lord!

As we anchor our lives in deep-rooted principles of the gospel, secure

our sail in all our covenants, and keep our compass and rudder on

course, we can rest assured that we have our loving Father in Heaven

and Jesus Christ as our companions, shipmates, and most importantly,

as our Eternal Father and Savior. The Lighthouse of the Lord—the

temple—will become a guiding light throughout our life and we will find

incomprehensible joy and divine protection. As we look back, we will

know that our sail was set windward by a loving Savior, Jesus Christ.Photo compilation taken and created by Renée Packer

I stand as a witness of His divine love and

awareness of each of us as His literal sons

and daughters. As lighthouses guide ships

safely to the harbor, the temple is calling us

home: a home where we may find peace, safety,

direction, light, truth, and eternal assurances

of how to endure with honor.

I know where my path leads. I know who I follow. I

bear testimony that each of us can find joy in our

journey. Though it may be, at times, treacherous and

filled with uncertainty, there is a bright light of hope

ahead: hope in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, hope in

turning our hearts to our Father’s heart, and hope in the

strengthening power of honoring and keeping all our

covenants so that we may return to rest in His glory.

To this I testify, in His name, Amen

The Temple, the Lighthouse of the LordPhotography and compilation by Renee Packer,

Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, 8-26-2014, and the Ogden, Utah Temple, 9-21-2014

The Temple, the Lighthouse of the Lord Testimony by Renée W. Packer — January 2015

The title of this work, “The Temple, the Lighthouse of the Lord,” was inspired from my

recent travels in Nova Scotia with my husband in August 2014. After we returned, I

began to research the words “lighthouse” and “temples,” and came upon several talks from

President Thomas S. Monson, finding only the phrase: “The Lighthouse of the Lord.” I

felt compelled to put these two phrases together, “The Temple,” and “The Lighthouse of the

Lord,” uniting this parallel. I felt a reassurance when, during the first rededication session

of the Ogden Temple, our prophet, Thomas S. Monson, stated similarly, “May the Temple

be the lighthouse of the Lord, guiding us through the storms of life.” (Updated since our

Women’s Conference) This acted as a second witness and confirmed the direction of this

symbolic reminder. Little did I know how that these two images would eventually come

together for the very purpose of our Layton South Stake Women’s Conference in January

2015—but the Lord did. My heart, mind, and hands were guided to create this singular

image from two different images that I photographed: one during our travels in Nova Scotia,

and one of our newly dedicated Ogden temple right after our attending the last session.
