What an inspiring talk! Please, thank your father for me! It's good to keep our minds and heart on what matter's most. I really felt moved after reading this. The temple will stand out more and more as the darkness of the world comes upon us in the future! Wow! What an inspiring talk! Please, thank your father for me!

It's an incredibly important topic that should "occupy our strictest attention" (Joseph Smith). The excellent quote by Elder Hales brought to mind another similar quote found in Michael Wilcox's House of Glory: “…Susa Young once asked her father Brigham Young how it would ever be possible to accomplish the great amount of temple work that must be done, if all are given a full opportunity for exaltation. He told her there would be many inventors of labor-saving devices so that our daily duties could be performed in a short time, leaving us more and more time for temple work. The inventions have come and are still coming, but many simply divert the time gained to other channels, and not for the purpose intended by the Lord.” Excellent talk. Thank you for sharing this!
