Happiness is the object and design of our existence and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness and keeping all the commandments of God.
-Joseph Smith
Throughout his life, Joseph Smith would turn to God in prayer to seek the help and guidance he needed. A Church member recalled hearing him pray in Kirtland, Ohio, at a time of great personal difficulty: "Never until then had I heard a man address his Maker as though He was present listening as a kind father would listen to the sorrows of a dutiful child. . . . . There was no ostentation, no raising of the voice as by enthusiasm, but a plain conversational tone, as a man would address a present friend. It appeared to me as though, in case the veil were taken away, I could see the Lord standing facing His humblest of all servants I had ever seen." - Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith Priesthood/Relief Society Manual.

"It is not always easy to follow a righteous plan and be obedient to the laws of society and the laws of the Lord. In the long run, however, following the rules is still the best pathway to obtaining all the things the Lord has promised." - President James E. Faust (April Priesthood Session, 2007)
To: Seth and Caleb, This is Jonathan Campbell. I would really like you guys to come over or I could play at your house. Please can I play at your house when you get back? Love, Jonathan P.S. How many days until you get back (home)? P.P.S. Caleb and Seth...I really like you AND your games! P.P.P.S. Jonathan and I were talking about whom he could marry at lunch today. No first cousins. "Oh, does that mean I can marry Lizzie?" he asked. "Lizzie who?" I ask. "You know! Lizzie, Caleb and Seth's sister!" "Oh, yes, she would be okay to marry!"
Dear Lizzie, We are missing you so much! I have really missed you on your trip! When you get back, can you play sometime? Thanks! [Please reply back] Love, Hannah Campbell
It looks like you guys are having the adventure of a lifetime. I was thinking about you guys because tonight are Striker tryouts and I wanted to make sure that you have talked to Coach Mike about Ethan. We want to keep the team intact as much as possible and it wouldn't be the same without Ethan. Have fun, and we will see you soon.
