Help Ancestors Receive Sacred Ordinances

Heavenly Father loves your family members who have passed away and has prepared a way for them to receive the blessings of the gospel through the temple.

• Learn about the importance of families and temples. Consider using:

  • “What Is Family History?,” “How Can I Start My Family History and Temple Service?,” and “My Ancestor” in Families and Temples, 15–19.

• Prayerfully identify one or more ancestors of your same gender whom you would like to serve in the temple.

• With the help of one of your member friends, follow the instructions in the article “Help Ancestors Receive Sacred Ordinances: Preparing Family Names” (FamilySearch Blog, June 1, 2021, FamilySearch.org).

• If possible, set a date to attend the temple with some family, friends, and ward members to do baptisms for your deceased ancestors.
