We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Work



“It was easy to guard them while at their labor.” (Alma 53:5) Captin Moroni’s army took a large number of the Lamanites as prisoners, but he could not spare many men to guard them. He put them to work fortifying the city, and building their own prison, because it was easy to guard them while they were working.
 I thought about our children as we endeavor to guard them against evil. If we can evolve them in useful labor, daily chores, family projects, gardening, building, community service projects, helping neighbors and etc, it is a lot easier to guard them from the bad stuff.
