Opening The Heavens - A Live Panel Discussion With Young Adults From Around The World

Moderators: Scott and Angelle Anderson

Young adults from around the world share their inspiring stories of accepting President Nelson’s invitation to be involved in the gathering of Israel on both sides of the veil, and how they have been blessed for doing so,

“It is my testimony that when we show the Lord we are serious about helping our ancestors, the heavens will open and we will receive all that we need.” Wendy Nelson, Open The Heavens Through Temple And Family History Work

Heavenly Father has sent His children to earth for more than six millennia. Most of these people have not yet received the ordinances that would qualify them for eternal life. That is why temples are so significant. That is why the gathering of Israel on both sides of the veil is the most important cause on earth today. You, my dear colleagues in this holy work, have an essential role in this gathering, and I thank you for it.

I plead with you to take charge of your testimony. Work for it. Own it. Care for it. Nurture it so that it will grow. Feed it truth. Don’t pollute it with the false philosophies of unbelieving men and women and then wonder why your testimony is waning.

Engage in daily, earnest, humble prayer. Nourish yourself in the words of ancient and modern prophets. Ask the Lord to teach you how to hear Him better. Spend more time in the temple and in family history work.

As you make your testimony your highest priority, watch for miracles to happen in your life." President Russell M. Nelson Choices for Eternity (Fireside For Young Adults May 2022)

“Anytime we do anything that helps anyone — on either side of the veil — to make and keep their covenants with God, we are helping to gather Israel.” President Russell M. Nelson Let God Prevail 

“...I have a particular emphasis on the young adults of the church. You are leaders. You can take the lead in the gathering of Israel on both sides of the veil. You have been brought to the earth for such a time as this…You will influence the lives of more people than you can ever imagine.” David A. Bednar, Our Quest for Connection Wrap-Up
