“As parents, we introduce our children to Heavenly Father
and His Son, Jesus Christ. We help our children say their first prayer. We
offer guidance and support as they enter the covenant path through baptism. We
teach them to obey God’s commandments. We educate them about His plan for His
children, and we help them recognize the whisperings of the Holy Ghost. We tell
them stories of ancient prophets and encourage them to follow living ones. We
pray for their triumphs and ache with them during their trials. We testify to
our children of temple blessings, and we strive to prepare them well to serve
full-time missions. We offer loving counsel as our children become parents
themselves. But even then we never stop being their parents. We never stop
being their teachers. We are never released from these eternal callings.” – Devin
