Claire's Talk

Claire gave a talk today. She was extremely nervous, but did fabulous.

Here's her talk:


President Uchtdorf shared an experience he had as a youth and being sealed in the temple. He said, "I can still remember when my parents took our family to the newly built Swiss Temple, the first in Europe, to become a forever family. I was 16 then and the youngest of four children. We knelt together at the altar to be sealed on earth by the power of the priesthood, with a wonderful promise that we could be sealed for eternity. I will never forget this magnificent moment. As a boy I was quite impressed that we crossed country borders to be sealed as a family. To me it symbolizes the way temple work crosses worldly boundaries to bring eternal blessings to everyone on earth. Temples are truly built for the benefit of the entire world.”

Our family relationships are so special to Heavenly Father that he has given us the ability, through temple ordinances, to be with our families forever.

I bear my testimony that I know the Church is true and that Joseph Smith really did see Heavenly Father and Jesus. I know that when we get baptized we receive the Holy Ghost and if we follow the commandments we will live with Him again. I know that families can be sealed together in the temple to live together forever. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
