I have been listening to the words of modern prophets all my life. I read the scriptures, attend my meetings, and try to live the gospel to the best of my ability. I have a testimony of the Savior and His plan for us. I have had trials and understand the purpose of mortality in the plan of salvation. I know the Lord answers prayers and loves me. When we sacrifice and obey the commandments, blessings come.

“The family is the most important unit in time and in eternity and, as such, transcends every other interest in life.” The family is more important than you or me as individuals. The family is the engine of social and spiritual growth. There is nothing we can accomplish in mortality that can equal the power for good a family can provide.

The effects of a good family can reach down through many generations, affecting the lives of countless thousands. The cumulative effect of one good family after another in a family line is incalculable.
