    One of the beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that Elder Makaafi shares with others is that family relationships are strengthened when individuals embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ.

    In addition, Latter-day Saint doctrine teaches that families can be together beyond this life.
