“Build traditions in your families that will bring you together, for they can demonstrate your devotion, love, and support for one another. These events would include blessings of children, baptisms, other priesthood ordinances, graduations, missionary farewells, homecomings, and, of course, marriages. Sharing these occasions as a family will help us build a foundation established upon a rock.” LoveChildrenHelpingTogetherCoursesSupportRocksEventsBlessingTraditionFoundationDevotionOccasionsOur FamilyMissionaryFarewellBaptismPriesthoodOrdinancesHomecoming Author:L.

“To anyone who has followed the practice of using profanity or vulgarity and would like to correct the habit, could I offer this suggestion? First, make the commitment to erase such words from your vocabulary. Next, if you slip and say a swear word or a substitute word, mentally reconstruct the sentence without the vulgarity or substitute word and repeat the new sentence aloud. Eventually you will develop a non-vulgar speech habit.” IfsFirstsNextPracticeHabitOffersSpeechCommitmentSentencesRepeatsSubstitutesMissionarySlipsSwearSuggestionsVocabularyVulgarEraseVulgarityProfanitySwear Word Author:L.
