In conference there was a talk about a man who was a prisoner of war in Vietnam. After 2 years of not being able to let his family know that he was alive, his captors finally let him write them a letter but limited him to 25 words or less. This is what he wrote, "These things are important: temple marriage, mission, college. Press on, set goals, write history, take pictures twice a year."
If I had to write a note to my family in 25 words or less right now, this is what I would say:
Repent. Have faith. Be strong. Do good. Help others. Smile. Learn. Family. Do all that the Lord asks of you. Have gratitude for your blessings.
