The Temple is About Families

"President Hinckley has told us that 'just as our Redeemer gave His life as a vicarious sacrifice for all men, and in so doing became our Savior, even so we, in a small measure, when we engage in proxy work in the temple, become as saviors to those on the other side who have no means of advancing unless something is done in their behalf by those on earth‘, "This is such meaningful service we give because our departed brothers and sisters literally become more connected to us." Richard H. Winkel, "The Temple Is About Families," Ensign, Nov. 2006, 11
