Sister Elaine S. Dalton spoke on the
importance of turning our hearts and the work of saving the dead. She said,

How can the promises made to the fathers be planted in the hearts of the children? How can the hearts of the children be turned to their fathers? This can happen only when we understand our identity and roles in this work and remain worthy and prepared to enter the temple and act on behalf of those who have gone before.

Brigham Young said: “We have a work to do just as important in its sphere as the Savior’s work was in its sphere. … We are now called upon to do ours; which is to be the greatest work man ever performed on the earth.” [Discourses of Brigham Young, sel. John A. Widtsoe (1954), 406.]
