Marriage and family are ordained of God. The family is the most important social unit in time and in eternity. Under God's great plan of happiness, families can be sealed in temples and be prepared to return to dwell in His holy presence forever. That is eternal life!
From Russell M. Nelson
One of the most important concepts of revealed religion is that of a sacred covenant.
In legal language, a covenant generally denotes an agreement between two or more parties. But in a religious context, a covenant is much more significant. It is a sacred promise with God. He fixes the terms.
If one accepts the terms of the covenant and obeys God's law, he or she receives the blessings associated with the covenant.
Indeed, the Lord has not forgotten! He has blessed us and others throughout the world with the Book of Mormon.
From an eternal perspective, the only death that is truly premature is the death of one who is not prepared to meet God.
As apostles and prophets, we are concerned not only for our children and grandchildren but for yours as well - and for each of God's children.
All that the future holds in store for each sacred child of God will be shaped by his or her parents, family, friends, and teachers. Thus, our faith now becomes part of our posterity's faith later.
Preparation for a mission is important. A mission is a voluntary act of service to God and humankind. Missionaries support that privilege with their personal savings. Parents, families, friends, and donors to the General Missionary Fund may also assist.
All missionaries, younger and older, serve with the sole hope of making life better for other people.
