“Any work you do in the temple is time well spent, but
receiving ordinances vicariously for one of your own ancestors will make the
time in the temple more sacred, and even greater blessings will be received.
The First Presidency has declared, ‘Our preeminent obligation is to seek out and
identify our own ancestors.’ Do you young people want a sure way to eliminate
the influence of the adversary in your life? Immerse yourself in searching for
your ancestors, prepare their names for the sacred vicarious ordinances
available in the temple, and then go to the temple to stand as proxy for them
to receive the ordinances of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. As you
grow older, you will be able to participate in receiving the other ordinances
as well. I can think of no greater protection from the influence of the
adversary in your life.” – Elder Richard G. Scott
