"Within the sound of my voice are individuals who should have but have not yet received the ordinances of the House of the Lord. Whatever the reason, however long the delay, I invite you to begin making the spiritual preparation so that you can receive the blessings available only in the holy temple. Please cast away the things in your life that stand in the way. Please seek after the things that are of eternal consequence.

David A Bednar

"Within the sound of my voice are individuals who have received the ordinances of the temple and for various reasons have not returned to the House of the Lord in quite some time. Please repent, prepare and do whatever needs to be done so you can again worship in the temple and more fully remember and honor your sacred covenants. …

"I bear solemn witness that the fire of the covenant will burn in the heart of every faithful member of this Church who shall worship and honorably hold a name and standing in the Lord's holy house."
