In it, I read a phrase that has stuck with me ever since. President Smith said,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cThe fact is, the whole plan of redemption is based on vicarious salvation.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The word \u201cvicarious\u201d means acting for another. Of course, we all understand that Jesus Christ redeemed us vicariously. And I think we all understand that we serve in the temple by doing vicarious work for our kindred dead. But do we really understand what that means to each and every person vicarious work is done for? I did, but maybe I didn\u2019t, or at least my thought process led me to re-appreciate what Jesus Christ did for me, and in turn, I am doing for Him and Heavenly Father and for all my ancestors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">My husband and I decided to read the Book of Mormon together after Pres. Nelson\u2019s challenge. In one of our many discussions together, we reviewed what was really happening in the Spirit World. Those who died, having been baptized in full faith in Jesus Christ, rest in Paradise. Those who die having not received the ordinance of baptism wait in Prison (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/topics\/spirit-world?lang=eng\">Topics\u2014Spirit World<\/a>). So, what happens to those in prison who accept the gospel and want to be baptized? They can\u2019t move onto Paradise until we are baptized for them vicariously. They are trapped with those who are experiencing hell and paying for their own sins. How miserable is that???<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Elder A. Theodore Tuttle spoke on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/general-conference\/1982\/04\/the-first-and-the-last-words?lang=eng\">The First and the Last Words<\/a>, in terms of Joseph Smith. The first message Joseph received from Moroni was Malachi\u2019s prophecy about Elijah coming to turn hearts of fathers to children and children to fathers (see D&amp;C 110:14-16). And the last words were given in Nauvoo when the temple was almost completed. The Lord revealed to Joseph the sacred ordinances that would take place in the temple. Clearly, our dispensation is focused on temple work. Why? Because it is up to us to vicariously save those who are trapped in the Spirit World.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I\u2019ve been called as the Family History and Temple Specialist in my ward, so I have a vested interest in this subject. But I\u2019m learning quickly that we must all have a vested interest in it. In the past, I\u2019ve heard people say all their genealogy work is done. I\u2019ve heard others say the more genealogy they do, the more work they find to do. As for me, all I want to do is free all those ancestors trapped in their prison.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">W. Grant Bangerter also spoke in this session about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/general-conference\/1982\/04\/what-temples-are-for?lang=eng\">What Temples Are For<\/a>. He said,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cIt would be unfortunate to build temples around the earth and have them stand largely idle. One way to prepare people is to give a strong sermon. Sometimes the result is that we feel guilty. Then after two weeks, this feeling wears off, and we get over it.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I think that statement is sadly true. I am also a temple worker and everyone is bracing for the first month of the year when many New Year\u2019s resolutions are made, but they peter off by February.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Here\u2019s what I know now. I too must save. Envisioning people who want to get free from a binding prison is enough for me to act. Also, after praying for help to know where to start, I have been led to so many lines to pursue, I\u2019m almost dumbstruck as to where to start first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As to keeping people interested in Family History work for the long haul? This session of conference included a beautiful talk, by David B. Haight, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/general-conference\/1982\/04\/jesus-is-our-savior?lang=eng\">Jesus Is Our Savior<\/a>, who said,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cI testify by the power of the Holy Ghost that this same Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, crucified for the sins of the world \u2026 that through him all might be saved\u201d (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/scriptures\/dc-testament\/dc\/76.41-42?lang=eng\">D&amp;C 76:41-42<\/a>). <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">With this most incredible gift, in turn, I too must save.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">There is an urgency, coming from Church Headquarters, for work in our homes and in our temples to be our great focus. It centers around talking of Christ, preaching of Christ, and teaching our children that they may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/scriptures\/bofm\/2-ne\/25.26?lang=eng\">2 Nephi 25:26<\/a>). I am a vital part of this work of salvation. I feel it.
