Thousands of Latter-day Saints gathered for an evening devotional in Quito, Ecuador, Monday to hear their prophet remind them of their responsibilities to prepare for a glorious afterlife with their families.

President Russell M. Nelson told Latter-day Saints gathered at General Rumiñahui Coliseum in Quito, a meeting that was broadcast to all Church congregations in Ecuador, that each of them is responsible for developing faith in God and keeping His comandments.

Obtaining what Church doctrine calls “exaltation” (“the highest state of happiness and glory” in heaven, President Nelson said) requires righteous decisions made in families. The prophet said God exalts those couples who keep His commandments, which includes being married in one of the faith’s temples and creating a home brimming with love toward each other and their children.
