Children are raised to honour their parents and grandparents.
Family members work together to set goals and help solve individual and family challenges.
During this time, the family spends time together in spiritual and recreational activities designed to build good relationships and strong family ties. It is this belief in the continuation of the family unit into the eternities which lies behind the Church's interest in genealogy and family history. Church members believe that by tracing their genealogy and then performing temple ordinances for their deceased ancestors, the same blessings of membership of the gospel of Jesus Christ enjoyed by the living are made available to those who have passed on without a knowledge of the gospel.
