    This month's message, written by President Uchtdorf, is titled 'One key to a happy family.' 

    An excerpt follows:

    "The great Russian author Leo Tolstoy began his novel Anna Karenina with these words: 'Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.'1 While I do not have Tolstoy’s certainty that happy families are all alike, I have discovered one thing that most have in common: they have a way of forgiving and forgetting the imperfections of others and of looking for the good."

    Read the entire message.
