"The priesthood makes eternal families possible. It allows me, a son, to turn my heart to my father who passed away last year and to be calm in my hope, through the Savior, that I will see him again. The priesthood allows me, as a father, to turn my heart to our two children who died as infants and to be calm in my hope, through the Savior, that I will know them, and they will know I was their earthly father as I look into their eyes and tell them I love them.
"It is this priesthood which has allowed me to see, in the holiness of the temple, how the power of godliness is manifested to all people, who after exercising faith in Christ, repenting of their sins, and searching fervently for happiness, come to make sacred covenants with our Heavenly Father and receive his holy ordinances, that bind on earth, as well as bind in heaven."
"Many times we don't comprehend the meaning of the ordinances of the temple in their fullness until after we have known affliction or passed through experiences that could have been extremely sad without the knowledge of the plan of salvation."
"I know that thanks to the power of godliness manifest in the ordinances of the temple, I can now be reunited with my parents, for all eternity."
