Renee Zamora
"One of friends, Tami, was an artist, and I once explained my experience to her. We discussed the man who knew me, and I tried to describe him in sufficient detail
that she could paint a picture of him. As our conversation evolved, she finally said: 'Renee, you don't want a picture of him. You know who he was, don't you?' At that moment, I did, and I said: 'Yes, It was Satan.'
"Not only did I know who the man was, but I understood that I should read the 138th Section of the Doctrine and Covenants in order to understand my experience. Also, I knew that I would find further answers by attending the temple.
"Many of the answers came in the temple, and some of them are too sacred to discuss here. It became clear to me, though, that the people I had seen were those who had passed on, but were confined to this earth, and who needed further work done for them in order to progress beyond where they were. I also understand why Satan was there, why he knew me, and how privileged I was to see what I did. Much of what I saw had symbolic meaning beyond the outward appearances of the events themselves.
"Since that experience, I have become a fanatic concerning genealogy and temple work. The patience of my husband is sometimes tried as I work on genealogy.
As a final thought, Renee said: "The genealogical and temple work that we do is enormously important. We should work diligently to find those people who are not necessarily on our direct genealogical line, and we should perform the work so that their temple ordiances can be done. Since my experience I have been driven to locate all the people I saw that needed their temple work done. Each person is important in the sight of the Lord."
