Temples and Families
(by Jennifer Nielsen)

I began my ST by showing a small clip out of the Doctrine and Covenants and Church History video segment, “Temples and Families” (the one with Pres. Hunter speaking).
It has a really nice song with some exterior and interior video footage.

The song talked about “there is a place of peace and love” and families being together forever.
Then I showed family pictures from families of kids in the Primary.
(The kids loved seeing their families and each other.)

As I showed the pictures, I talked about how this family loves each other and wants to be together forever, and how when these kids grow up, they will have families of their own that they can be together forever with if they take advantage of the blessings of the temple.

Then I showed the end clip from the “Together Forever” video where they do the song.

Then I showed a picture of Christ and talked about how we are all brothers and sisters in his eternal family, and that he wants us to live worthy of returning to Him someday.

This went extremely well. I even had the Sunbeam’s attention (which almost never happens).
