The family is central to God’s plan for us

Our families provide a setting for much of the growth we experience in life.

In our families we love, serve, teach, and learn from each other. We share our joys and our sorrows. Family ties may bring us difficult challenges, but they also give us some of our greatest happiness.

While we cannot choose the conditions of our birth, we can choose each day to make our families stronger and happier.

It is possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.
