FAMILY

How important is it to us? To You? To Society?

An important event happened last week, the World Congress on Families V in Amsterdam, Netherlands. (ironic choice of sites)

I haven't seen or heard all the speeches, although they should be good. There are three that were brought to my attention from the LDS Church website. All three are exceptional!

Sheri Dew's talk is particularly insightful as she has never been married and yet understands its importance and the power behind it.

Elder Nelson reminds us of the Hope for the Future. My hope is that many will read his talk and commit to save Nations and Society.

Sister Nelson gives us a challenge that is easy to understand, hard to keep, but crucial to accept.

May we all come to understand the beauty, necessity and strength of our Father in Heavens plan for us, society, and mankind.
