Finding joy

Family forever

Family In a world of turmoil - L. Tom Perry — “In a world of turmoil and uncertainty, it is more important than ever to make our families the center of our lives and the top of our priorities.

Even if the smallest openings are left unattended, negative influences can penetrate the very walls of our homes.”– L. Tom Perry, Apostle, “The Importance of the Family”
