• “Increased influence of the Holy Ghost to feel strength and direction for our own lives;

• “Increased faith, so that conversion to the Savior becomes deep and abiding;

• “Increased ability and motivation to learn and repent because of an understanding of who we are, where we come from, and a clearer vision of where we are going;

• “Increased refining, sanctifying, and moderating influences in our hearts;

• “Increased joy through an increased ability to feel the love of the Lord;

• “Increased family blessings, no matter our current, past, or future family situation or how imperfect our family tree may be;

• “Increased love and appreciation for ancestors and living relatives, so we no longer feel alone;

• “Increased power to discern that which needs healing and thus, with the Lord’s help, serve others;

• “Increased protection from temptations and the intensifying influence of the adversary; and

• “Increased assistance to mend troubled, broken, or anxious hearts and make the wounded whole” (“Family History and Temple Work: Sealing and Healing,” Liahona, May 2018, 47).
