The Logan Parental Statement


We are raising our children to be independent learners,
Successful husbands and wives,
Loving and capable mothers and fathers,
Close and united eternal siblings,
Good friends, and service oriented, moral adults.

And above all else, to have an accurate knowledge,
And deep testimony of those things pertaining to
Heavenly Father,
Jesus Christ,
The Holy Ghost,
The Gospel,
And the Lord’s Church.

And to keep focused on the Celestial Kingdom,
To comprehend eternal relationships,
To recognize truth,
To have courage and endurance,
To read the scriptures and follow the prophet,
To have an abiding and active testimony of prayer and revelation.

To remember that it is better to obey than to repent, that it is better to repent than to lose everything.
That forgiveness, healing, and compassion are more powerful forces than resentment, bitterness, and being offended.
To control their voice, their words,
their thoughts, and their actions.
To never harm, to run from those who would harm.
To seek help from those inspired and capable of giving it.
To cherish laughter, balance, play, and righteous companionship.

To know beyond all doubt that the Lord wins in the end,
The dead will rise, grief is temporary, the sealing power is real.
To keep their eye single to His Glory,
To be filled with His Light,
And with all their heart, mind, and spirit to know that they are loved forever.
