We helped Jayduse and Lee (the boys who just got baptized) to work on their family tree. Along with Gabriel (who also recently got baptized). Then Thursday night we went to the temple to do baptisms for those family members and other people who have passed away without that opportunity. To give you an example, Jayduse Lee and Lupe's father passed away just over a year ago. So when we went to the temple, Jayduse was able to be baptized and confirmed again but not for himself, rather for his father! Because his father never got baptized while he was alive!!! It was so amazing!!! The kids were so happy. After he got confirmed, he said "Now dad's baptized". It was so cool to see that Jayduse understood such an important simple truth.
The apostle Peter of the New Testament taught us that the gospel is in fact taught to those who have passed away. In 1 Peter 4:6 he says, "For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit."
I am grateful to have the knowledge that in order for God to be perfectly just, he must give all of his children the opportunity to accept the gospel of Jesus Christ whether it be in this life or the next. What we do with that opportunity is up to us.
And those of us who have accepted the gospel have the responsibility to help them receive saving ordinances that they cannot do for themselves.
That is why temples are so important!!
