"I think, many times, that we, as elders of Israel and as Latter-day Saints, come far short of realizing our position before the Lord. The work required at our hands is great and mighty; it is the work of Almighty God. We are held responsible for presenting the gospel of Christ to all the nations of the earth. . . . We are held responsible for all this and for building temples to the Most High, wherein we can enter and attend to ordinances for the salvation of our dead” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Wilford Woodruff, p. 254).
