For our family home evening tonight, we discussed about the temple. It's my turn to give the lesson, and I chose this topic since we're planning on going to the temple as a family and do baptism for the dead. We used quotations from our church leaders and a scripture (Doctrine and Covenants 42:36) as part of our lesson, I also asked them these questions (below) to test their temple knowledge.
