" I PROMISE YOU THAT IF YOU WILL KEEP 

YOUR JOURNALS AND RECORDS,

THEY WILL INDEED BE A SOURCE

OF GREAT INSPIRATION

TO YOUR FAMILIES,

TO YOUR CHILDREN,

YOUR GRANDCHILDREN,

AND OTHERS,

ON THROUGH THE GENERATIONS.

EACH OF US IS IMPORTANT

TO THOSE WHO ARE NEAR AND DEAR TO US.

AS OUR POSTERITY READ

OF OUR LIFE'S EXPERIENCES,

THEY, TOO WILL COME TO KNOW AND LOVE US.

AND IN THAT GLORIOUS DAY

WHEN OUR FAMILIES ARE TOGETHER 

IN THE ETERNITIES,

WE WILL ALREADY BE ACQUAINTED."

~President Kimball~
