Michael R. Otterson

I just listened to an AMAZING video, which was a talk by Michael R. Otterson. Here are some feelings I had while watching this video. One of my favorite quotes from this entire video/talk by Michael R. Otterson was the following: “The term we most commonly use for God is Heavenly Father. That is no casual term. God is a loving father, who cares about every one of His children, and who will not leave them to chance.” I don’t think it gets much better than that. How beautiful that each and every one of us has our own story to tell. And how wonderful that we are able as he said to help learn these stories and do the work for those who have gone on before us. I love that not one of us is left to chance. I love that Michael R. Otterson tells us shares with us how much more real and significant temple work is when we know something about the ancestor we are doing work for; even a small story or the place of birth or who they married, etc. I also love how he said the work is never done, no matter how much our relatives have already done. We all have work to do! Let us go on and do it. So grateful to be a part of this work!
