Gathering the Family of God – Henry B. Eyring

President Henry B. Eyring, First Counselor in the First Presidency opened the Saturday Morning Session of General Conference to speak about the gathering of the family of God that has happened since the Restoration of the Gospel.

He spoke of the ongoing efforts throughout the world of people seeking out their ancestors and gathering them into the family of God through temple ordinances. As we take part in this sacred effort, we need to rely heavily on the influence of heaven to assist us. He also highlights the increasing contribution of young people in this effort:

“In addition, many youth have discovered that giving of their time to do family history research and temple work has deepened their testimony of the plan of salvation. It has increased the influence of the Spirit in their lives and decreased the influence of the adversary. It has helped them feel closer to their families and closer to the Lord Jesus Christ. They have learned that this work saves not just the dead; it saves all of us”
