Worldwide Training on the Family

The training today under Elder Holland's direction was a wonderful treat, one that was appropriate for everyone.
A main theme was from D&C 52:14, where the Lord says "I will give you a pattern in all things". The Family Proclamation is our pattern for how families should be, not as the world says, but as the Lord expects. Elder Packer said the Proclamation is scripture, and should used as such, for a standard. A panel discussion followed with Elder Holland and Elder Oaks and the Presidents of the Auxiliaries, with many important insights and suggestions for all stages of family life.

President Monson concluded with three considerations for families:
1. Establish a pattern of prayer
2. Have a library of learning (Scriptures + Good Books)
3. Legacy of Love

What are your thoughts from this training?
