Soup to Nuts
Another gem from Elder Hales

"While our individual salvation is based on our individual obedience,
it is equally important that we understand that we are each an important
and integral part of a family and the highest blessings can be received
only within an eternal family. When families are functioning as designed by
God, the relationships found therein are the most valued of mortality. The
plan of the Father is that family love and companionship will continue into
the eternities. Being one in a family carries a great responsibility of
caring, loving, lifting, and strengthening each member of the family so
that all can righteously endure to the end in mortality and dwell together
throughout eternity. It is not enough just to save ourselves. It is equally
important that parents, brothers, and sisters are saved in our families. If
we return home alone to our Heavenly Father, we will be asked, 'Where
is the rest of the family?' This is why we teach that families are
forever. The eternal nature of an individual becomes the eternal nature of
the family."

(Elder Robert D. Hales, "The Eternal Family," Ensign, Nov. 1996, 65)
