Why this work matters
Temple and family-history work blesses people on both sides of the veil. These promised blessings give ward leaders and consultants the purpose behind every tool, visit, and invitation.
Blessings that come from gathering Israel
Blessings in 30 mins: Spiritual power, personal revelation, peace, stronger faith, joy, family harmony, healing, protection from temptation and the adversary, greater connection with family, and the power of God flowing into your life.
Elder Dale G. Renlund: If you have prayed for any of these blessings, participate in family history and temple work. As you do so, your prayers will be answered.
Promised blessings by group
President Russell M. Nelson: Anytime you do anything that helps anyone—on either side of the veil—take a step toward making covenants with God and receiving their essential baptismal and temple ordinances, you are helping to gather Israel.

Training for your ward
The Lindon FamilySearch Center can help a bishopric or ward council turn this purpose into a practical ward effort. We train consultants through hands-on experiences using their own family trees, then help them practice working with and encouraging members.
The result: consultants prepared to help members have short, personal spiritual experiences using their own families—and follow the names they find toward completed temple ordinances.
