PREPARING INVESTIGATORS FOR BAPTISM AND CONFIRMATION 2

MISSIONARIES HELP THOSE WHO ARE CONVERTED PREPARE FOR BAPTISM, CONFIRMATION, AND MEMBERSHIP IN THE LORD'S CHURCH

Exodus 20:8-12

• Keep the sabbath day holy. We need to teach our new members the importance of this.
• "wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
• It is the day of worship and rest

D&C 59:9-10

• Sunday is the day for church and partaking of the sacrament. Remembering our Savior and his great atonement.
• "Thou shalt go to the house of prayer and offer up thy sacraments upon my holy day."

COVENANTS AND ORDINANCES NECESSARY FOR EXALTATION ARE RECEIVED IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

D&C 131

• Temple marriage and being sealed is one important ordinance necessary for exaltation.
• We need to marry in God's temple. "And if he does not, he cannot obtain it."

D&C 132:15

• Not getting married in the temple is like not getting married at all.
• If you do not marry in the temple, your marriage will only last until death do you part. In the grand scheme of things life on earth is so small. Life on earth is just a little speck on the line of eternal life. Marry for eternity.
