Discover How Families are Forever

Heavenly Father understands that life is difficult. In Heavenly Father’s plan, families can help us through life’s challenges. His plan also includes living with our families forever. Although we are aware that every family looks different, it’s important to know that we are all a part of God’s family and He embraces us with welcome arms. In this tour, you will watch a 15-minute video that will take you through a nine-year period of a family’s life. Their journey shows us how they are united through Jesus Christ and how they find comfort in knowing that God has a plan for them.
