Why do we have to wear all white when we do baptisms for the dead?

Dear Gramps,
Why do we have to wear all white when we do baptisms for the dead? I have not had the gospel my whole life, so how do I feel like I am a part of my family if I am not sealed to them yet and how do I make family roots with my mom?
Marissa

Dear Marissa,
We do baptisms for the dead dressed in white because such baptisms can only be performed in holy temples, and all who enter therein do so dressed in white.
One very good way to feel a part of your eternal family to whom you have not yet been sealed in the temple would be to search out the necessary data associated with who they were and when they lived, then go to the House of the Lord and perform the essential saving ordinances in their behalf. You would then feel and be a very necessary and integral part of your eternal family.
