“Never
forget that family history—and the temple ordinances enabled by
it—is an essential part of the work of salvation and that
participation in this sacred work for the dead blesses the lives of
the living. It strengthens our faith in and commitment to the gospel,
helps us resist temptation, draws our families closer together, and
strengthens our wards and stakes.”
...
“As
an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, I promise that if you look
beyond the bonds of time and mortality and help those who cannot help
themselves, you will be blessed with more closeness and joy in your
family and with the divine protection afforded those who are faithful
in His service.”

Elder Quentin L. Cook, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “The
Joy of Family History Work,” Ensign, February 2016, p. 29 and 33
