From the time he was a little boy, President Henry B. Eyring's life has been guided by powerful moments of personal revelation. About seeing his wife for the first time, President Eyring shared in an address delivered at the Vatican, "I saw in the crowd a young woman. I had never seen her before, but the feeling came over me that she was the best person I had ever seen. That evening she walked into our church meeting in Cambridge. Another thought came to my mind with great power: 'If I could only be with her, I could become every good thing I ever wanted to be.'" That woman was Kathleen Johnson, and that inspiration changed the course of President Eyring's life.

Are the 12-year-olds of the church prepared to enter the temple and do baptisms for the dead? Do they understand the sacredness of the place and the reverent respect it deserves? By making the temple a familiar and well-loved part of your child’s growing years, and by preparing even more after baptism, your child can have a greater appreciation for and be better prepared to enter the sacred house of the Lord. This was inspired by a recent ldschurchnews article by the Primary general presidency.
