To my teenaged grandchildren: Rachel, Robin, Esther, Zachary, Erik, Jason, Trevor, Curtis, Berkeley and Sam

This morning in prayer meeting President Jensen said that in the introduction to the new "For the Strength of Youth" booklet it says to "focus on the temple in all you do." Evidently the standards in the booklet will help you get to the temple.

Nowadays the youth at age 12 can receive a recommend that is the key to the door of any temple in the world! The youth are encouraged from age 12 on for the rest of their lives to have a current recommend. They will need to renew it each year until they actually receive their endowment and then it will be renewed every other year.

I can see how always remaining worthy to enter the temple will be a protection to you in your teenage years. When temptations come (and they will) to do something that would forfeit your right to that recommend/key, you will think of the blessings of the temple and resolve to remain worthy.

When you receive your endowment, you will learn more about Satan and what a pest he can be. He, of course, would like to see you steer clear of the temple and its good influence. I know he's real and quite powerful. Fortify yourselves against his influence by keeping a current recommend and using it often!

It will be a wonderful day when you enter the temple to receive your endowment, and a glorious day when you go back with your chosen mate to be sealed for eternity. I will be there rejoicing with you.

Love, Grandma
