Families Are Forever

"We had a family home evening last Monday at Javier and Reynas house, the Bolivian family we baptized. It was cool, we talked a lot about the Temple and how they need to make it a goal to go there in 1 year and be sealed as a family. That is the real goal of missionary work, invite people to come unto Christ and taking part in the ordinances, espescially being sealed as a family and Temple marriage. So we talked about family history and I showed them my 4 generation chart that my Grandma so lovingly prepared for me and tonight we are gonna watch the movie Legacy with them and talk about church history."

The basic unit of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the family: "The home is the basis of a righteous life, and no other instrumentality can take its place nor fulfill its essential functions" (McKay, David O.,1965). Within the family, people experience most of life's greatest joys and greatest sorrows. The family relationships of every person on earth are of cardinal importance, and of all the social organizations created for human beings, only the family is intended to continue into the next life.

Eternal Importance of Marriage and Family
