Why This Matters:
I love my family! They are probably the most important thing I have in my life. In the Lord's plan, they are important, as well. An eternal family is central to the Lord's plan of happiness for us. They are a sacred entity and should be treated as such. As a future mother/parent, I have a sacred calling to live righteously and raise my children unto the Lord. I need to help my children create their own connection with heaven. As a daughter/descendant, I have a sacred calling to do the work for my ancestors and help each of us reach the highest potential and glory we were meant for.
