"You are never lost when you can see the temple. The temple will provide direction for you and your family in a world filled with chaos. It is an eternal guidepost which will help you from getting lost in the 'mist of darkness.'"

LEARNING FROM THE LORD THROUGH TEMPLE WORSHIP
The ordinances and covenants of the temple help us understand Heavenly Father’s priorities for His children.
​
In His holy house, God directs our attention to specific commandments to emphasize how we can deepen our relationship with Him and our loved ones and to give our best to the Lord—in other words, to "love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind" (Matthew 22:37).
How can we make temple experience a time of learning? Here are a few ideas:
​
-
Make a plan to attend the temple regularly.
-
Take some time to prepare before entering the temple.
-
Focus on covenants you have made with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
-
Think about the opportunities you are providing to others as you perform proxy ordinances.
