Having had the opportunity to bare children gives me a great deep appreciate for children. I know they are innocent Children of God who have chosen me to be their Mother and help them return with Heavenly Father. I as a Mother have great responsibility to raise them in the ways of the Lord, along with my husband. I know that every child deserves to have a legally wedded father and mother and more importantly an eternal family. They are entitled to be born under the convent of a temple marriage. I know that I along with my husband will be the biggest examples my children will have and by following the gospel and teaching them the gospel. They too, can grow up to be an example for their children as well.
1. LDS Women Are Incredible!
1. LDS Women Are Incredible!
Elder Quentin L. Cook, April 2011, General
Conference: Saturday Morning Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2011/04/lds-women-are-incredible?lang=eng&query=lds+women+are+incredible
“Our women are not incredible
because they have managed to avoid the difficulties of life – quite the
opposite. They are incredible because of the way they face the trials of life.”
2. When
You Save a Girl, You Save Generations
Sister Mary N. Cook, April 2013, General Young Women
Meeting,
“Participating in family history and temple work will
likewise weave your hearts together and give your ancestors the opportunity of
eternal life.”
3. We
Are Daughters of Our Heavenly Father
Sister Elaine S. Dalton, April 2013, General
Conference: Saturday Morning Session,
“Mothers, your relationship with your daughter is of
paramount importance, and so is your example.”
4. Protect
the Children
Elder Dallin H. Oaks, October 2012 General
Conference: Saturday Afternoon Session,
“Of utmost importance to the well-being of children
is whether their parents were married, the nature and duration of the marriage,
and, more broadly, the culture and expectations of marriage and child care
where they live. Two scholars of the family explain: “Throughout history,
marriage has first and foremost been an institution for procreation and raising
children. It has provided the cultural tie that seeks to connect the father to
his children by binding him to the mother of his children. Yet in recent times,
children have increasingly been pushed from center stage.”
5. Our
Duty to God: The Mission of Parents and Leaders to the Rising Generation
Elder Robert D. Hales, April 2010 General
Conference: Saturday Afternoon Session,
“For all of us, doing our duty to God as parents and
leaders begins with leading by example – consistently and diligently living
gospel principles at home. This takes daily determination and diligence.”
6. Our
Duty to God: The Mission of Parents and Leaders to the Rising Generation
Elder Robert D. Hales, April 2010 General
Conference: Saturday Afternoon Session,
“Besides showing youth the way by example, we lead
them by understanding their hearts and walking alongside them on the gospel
path. To truly understand their hearts, we must do more than just be in the
same room or attend the same family and Church activities. We must plan and
take advantage of teaching moments that make a deep and lasting impression upon
their minds and hearts.”
7. The
Keys and Authority of the Priesthood
Elder Dallin H. Oaks, April 2014 General Conference:
Priesthood Session,
“In that notable address, President Smith said again
and again that women have been given authority. To the women he said, “You can
speak with authority, because the Lord has placed authority upon you.” He also
said that the Relief Society “[has] been given power and authority to do a
great many things. The work which they do is done by divine authority.” And, of
course, the Church work done by women or men, whether in the temple or in the
wards or branches, is done under the direction of those who hold priesthood
keys. Thus, speaking of the Relief Society, President Smith explained, “[The
Lord] has given to them this great organization where they have authority to
serve under the directions of the bishops of the wards … , looking after the
interest of our people both spiritually and temporally.”

Elder Neil A. Andersen, October 2011 General Conference: Saturday Afternoon Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2011/10/children?lang=eng&query=children
“When to have a child and how many children to have are private decisions to be made between a husband and wife and the Lord. These are sacred decisions—decisions that should be made with sincere prayer and acted on with great faith.”
10. Children
Elder Boyd K. Packer, October 2002 General Conference: Saturday Morning Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2002/04/children?lang=eng&query=children
