Prepared in a Manner That Never Had Been Known



In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saint's annual General Conference October session, General Relief Society President Lind K. Burton spoke on preparing for the temple and how preparing for such an event brings temple blessings. 

Generalization-President Burton assumes that everyone listening or reading her talk wants to go to the temple and receive temple blessings.
 
Analogy-She compares being ready for the temple to the parable of the ten virgins. Five of the virgins were prepared and wise while the other five were foolish and not ready for the coming of the bridegroom.

Sign-If you worthily prepare to enter the temple day by day, drop by drop, then you will be blessed above and beyond both temporally and eternally.
 
Causality-The more consistent we are in preparing for temple worthiness and blessings, the more at home we will feel when we actually are in the temple.

Authority-President Burton is the General Relief Society President and has been called and set apart as the Relief Society which gives her all the authority and much more on speaking to the women of the Church.
 
Principle-Going to the temple and preparing for temple attendance is the best thing that a righteous member of the Church can do, so this testimony has tremendous amounts of moral principle to it. Also, between good and evil, this talk represents the most righteous cause of the world.
