He lived with the Latter-day Saints in their homes, and learned
to know their true character and worth.
Then he saw the temples in which the Saints were doing a saving work
both for the living and the dead. While in conversation with some of the
temple workers, he told them of what he had in the way of genealogy,
which they commended highly, telling him that he had an opportunity to
do much good for his family.
"I am glad to hear you say that," replied he, "for you know, this work
for the dead was what first impressed me in the gospel. It came to me
naturally, it seems, for I had no trouble in accepting it."
Henrik learned much regarding the manner of procedure in this temple
work. He could do the work for the male members of his family, but a
woman must officiate for the female members. This was the true order,
he found.
"Your sister or your wife or any other near relative would be the person
to help you in this," said his informant.
Henrik shook his head. "I am the only member of the family that has
received the gospel," he replied.
