Today, my son, I will go to the temple and perform vicariously the preparatory actions that you were unable to do during your mortal life. I will begin the process necessary for you to continue your eternal journey. You will be ordained an Elder in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and will have many promises and blessings sealed upon you. Sacred ordinances will be performed and you will make covenents prescribed by our Savior so that you will "qualify for the purifying and exalting blessing of the atonement". I will act as your proxy just as if you were there for yourself. Many who have passed away have waited for there work to be done for many many years. So to have this done immediately after your year of preparation is a special blessing for you. I know that because of your love for your family and especially Jayden that you will take full advantage of this special privilege.

President Christensen the Rexburg Temple President said this about things that are done in the temple. "The sealing power that binds families together forever is more powerful than we can ever understand. We know that the Lord wants families together forever. He provides in His Holy temple the power to bind on earth so that it is bound in heaven. ..."

I love you my son and I consider it an honor to do this for you.
