    In an Ensign article, called “When Our Children Go Astray” (John K. Carmack, “When Our Children Go Astray”, Ensign, Feb. 1997, 7), one part reads:

    Quote:

    My wife and I have friends who, because of their son’s behavior, have suffered almost every problem identified …

    The father shared his lament and his hope in these words: “There is no how-to book with young people like our son. You pray to the Lord that he will guide your thoughts and your actions, and you hope you will make wise decisions.” He and his wife, firm in their faith, declare, “We have the ultimate hope that because he is sealed to us, the bonds of eternal covenants will be stronger than the bonds of the adversary that now seem to grip his life. We live with hope that the day will come when he will return to his eternal family and repent of his way of life.”


    I’d like to hear what people think this means and what relation this hope has to the sealing ordinances where eternal covenants are made?
