My fellow Saints, the
month of September is a
celebration of Family Unity
week of The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day saints. It
is also an annual family
celebration nationwide.
The Church of Jesus
Christ is a family centered
church and our greatest goal is
to become an eternal family.
“The Prophet Joseph
Smith desire was to build a
community of spiritual Saints.

must diligently teach their
children the way our Father in
Heaven would like them to
grow.
The church leaders
have instructed us to hold
regular family home evenings
where we can meet together
weekly, learn gospel principles,
and build family unity. Here we
can give counsels together,
read the scriptures, pray
together, and play together. We
can build a community of Saints
one family at a time.”

president ensures that all
parents and students know
their scripture block for the
month. In this way, family
scripture study will be more
meaningful with good ideas as
well as the words of our
prophets. The youth who are
attending the seminary class
can discuss it thoroughly with
their families. What a great
privilege, to sit together and
feat upon the words of Christ.
My prayer is that we
will all be vigilant in t his great
work – for we are rearing the
chosen generation.
Congratulations to all
Seminarians who have
completed the Book of
Matthew and Mark in the New

We still have the others

I am 77 years old and still strong and healthy.
Want to know my secret?
It is called 7 natural elements of the heart that
will give us long and healthy life without any side
effects:
1. Fresh air – Good for the lungs.
2. Sunlight – produces Vitamin D;
good for the bones.
3. Water – minimum of 8 glasses
(200ml) of water a day; for
cleansing our body.
4. Natural/Biological Foods – without
any additives and preservatives.
5. Exercise – the only way to build
muscles
6. Rest – we should have
enough rest
* 8 hours of sleep
*8 hours of work
* 8 hours of recreation
7. Stress Management – remember
positive attitude will create more
miracles than any wonder drugs.
Remember to live the do’s of the Word of
Wisdom!
