You were born to lead as mothers and fathers because nowhere is righteous leadership more crucial than in the family. You were born to lead as priesthood and auxiliary leaders, as heads of communities, companies, and even nations.

In the things that really matter--our covenants, the commandments, and following the prophet--we need to be completely united.
