This month the Coopers are memorizing the last article of faith.

Hmm. This one reminds me of Christmas.

How?

It’s so full of good things …

… like being honest and doing good to everyone.

Uh-huh.

Matt flipping through scriptures

Believing. And having hope!

Looking for good things in the world.

Exactly!

I think you’re one of the good things in the world.

So are you.

Thirteenth Article of Faith

“We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.”
