Welcome to Part 2 with Sister Carol Costley on the Family Proclamation.

Several times we've talked about the real and the ideal.

I hope people don't read this and use it as a club to beat themselves with.

My family's not perfect.

This is showing us an ideal. And look at that phrase that you

mentioned as they progress toward perfection. It gives us an ideal, an aspiration, a place to go

that's founded in truth. Boy, as you have so beautifully explained, Carol, your interesting background,

this is inspiring to you,

and it's telling us of the possibility in the future, possibility that's grounded in truth through the Savior. Please, if you're reading this and thinking, what did Elder Razman say, this doesn't fit for me?

This is truth for all of us. It gives us an

aspiration, a place for our future to go, especially the young people that are listening,

that are going. I don't know what my future family is going to be like. This gives me the

principles I need to plan and set goals. I think you're right on both of you.

I don't know if you've ever gone here, but if you go to your gospel library app, just scroll down a

little bit. For me, it's the third column on the right hand side towards the bottom. There's a

section called Life Help. And if you click on that, there's abuse, addiction, adoption, and it's in alphabetical order.

You can come down to the bottom, and there's transgender.

And a lot of questions about how does the church feel about this or see this are answered

here.

I was reading through this to prepare for today.

There's a lot to read, but I wanted to read this paragraph. One of the questions it's asked as, if I identify as transgender, do I belong as a

member of the church? Yes, church members need you and want you.
