Family.

The family. It makes a nice picture.

But what if we look outside the frame?

Could we see something bigger?

So each of us is born. We're cute but helpless.

And as we get older, well, it doesn't really change.

When families take care of each other, -

- it makes their communities stronger.

The more loving families and strong communities, -

- the better the world becomes.

But family is far bigger than just the here and now.

We wouldn't be who we are without our ancestors.

That's why we have a responsibility -

- to find them, learn their stories.

To make sure they're never forgotten.

We can also look ahead to strong family relationships, -

- that will last beyond this life.

Inside sacred buildings called temples, -

- couples can be married not just until death do you part,-

- but for eternity.

So families can be together forever, even after death.

Who made this possible?

God did.

Why?

God isn't just our Creator. He's our Father.

We are His children, His family.

That's the big picture, and we're all a part of it.
