Preparing for temple service should be central. Teach relentlessly about temple and the importance. We need everyone to go to the temple all the time. Use frequently your temple recommend.

Holy ghost bears witness of truth. Joseph Smith said that our purpose is to build temples so that we may attain highest ordinances (cough polygamy cough). We must gather everyone to the temples to be saved and not wasted. When we baptize, our eyes should be on the temple. Everyone baptized needs to go to temple, which is the most important, otherwise people are wasted.

We do not witness that we take upon us the name of christ in the sacrament. We witness to our willingness. Something else must happen before we take his name upon us. Baptism contemplates the temple. Temples are houses built unto god's name. Temples arm us with power of god. Everything leads to temple, and we pledge to keep his commandments so that we can go to the temple. temple temple temple TEMPLETEMPLETEMPLE!!!

Power of godliness in temple, blah blah blah, power of god, blah blah priesthood.

Look how many temples we have! Satan is mad! We have opposition from enemies of the church from temple building. We have had this antagonism before. Why do people fight against us? The bells of hell are ringing against us, tribes of hell are against us, but we are victorious. Faithful saints are STRENGTHENED by adversity because we are under promise of the lord. Nothing can stop us now. Take that, devil!

What do we learn from temple presidents? The protection available thru our temple covenants. We must make ACCEPTABLE offering of temple attendance. If we rush thru, it is not the same. No weapon forged against god can prosper, wicked are weak, faithful saints are supermen, blah blah. If you smite the righteous, god's gonna get you. Saints will be delivered.

The adversary will rage, but if we go to temple to get name and standing, we will be protected for all eternity. This will save your family. Satan will try to thwart us because he is JEALOUS of lord's house and our blessings. Lucifer hates that.

Temple encourages us to help others. Just look at the history of Brigham Young being a bastard... I mean, directing others to help the needy, but profiting himself. Take courage because god is on our side. Temples are everywhere, be edified and take refuge. God will gather his people in temples (then maybe the temples will take off like rockets to heaven).

Please, young people, go to the temple. Individuals within the sound of his voice that have not gone to temple. FOR SHAME! Make preparations so that you can go to the temple, and don't let those dumb things like THINKING stand in the way of going to the temple. What about those who haven't returned to the temple? Repent and go to the temple. Do you hold a recommend? You should! Fire of covenant will burn in the hearts of faithful. You must hold name and standing in lord's holy house. Lord directs us, and directs his anointed servants.

Amen
