Dear Sisters,

This Sunday our discussion will be taken from the Worldwide Fireside on Parenting which took place in 1985.  In that fireside, Elder Dallin H. Oaks stated,
"We cannot overstate the importance of parenthood and the family.  The basis of the government of God is the eternal family.  Our theology begins with heavenly parers and our highest aspiration is to attain that status for ourselves.  We solemnly affirm that the fullness of eternal salvation is a family affair  We may truly say that the gospel plan originated in the council of an eternal family, it is implemented through our earthly families, and has its destiny in our eternal families."
I look forward to discussing the challenges and blessings of parenthood, and being able to share, as sisters, encouragement and insights to ell one another in the difficult and rewarding responsibility of parenting!

Love, Sister Stoddard
