The earth was created for us, its our eternal home. So families could be formed, sealed and exalted. "BEHOLD, I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers. If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming."(D&C 2) Eternal families is our ultimate goal. In one way or another Satan has attacked the concept of the family unit! Everything in the gospel revolves around the family. There is a lot more love within the church, yet outside it there is much fear. Satan is working hard on trying to divide up families. he did all of this for us. The work of Genealogy is on ALL of us!! There is much work for us to do. We also need to have a desire to do the work for those that are in the Sprit World. The spirit of Elijah influence us to look into our ancestors, such as research and the temple work and to learn about our ancestors. We need to do this work with a great desire. This is a important work for us to do and it can give us the greatest joy. Every single person counts, they are real people and need to receive these real blessings. We need to pray and think about these people, and it will make the experience so much more satisfying. Its so special for them to receive these blessings. He needs us to do this work and He can't do it alone. When we serve others, we can feel spiritually enriched and fulfilled. when we participate in this work, we can become 'Saviors on Mount Zion'. as we do this work we become more like our Savior, Jesus Christ
