4 Kids, 2 Adults, 1 Family Proclamation...from Memory!

How do you help 4 kids 8 and under memorize a document that takes 8 minutes to read aloud? One scripture song sentence at a time!
On September 23, 1995, the apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released a one-page written proclamation regarding doctrines and beliefs regarding marriage and family. We felt inspired to learn the whole document, "The Family: A Proclamation to the World", as a family this year. Using short, original melodies written by my amazing mother, Laura Madsen, and tons of repetition, our family did it! Enjoy the resulting performance and the blips of family comedy as the video progresses. We have subtitles with the exact wording of the document, for moments when we have verbal typos. We love Jesus Christ, we love marriage and families, and we love you!
This was done as a birthday gift to my mother, Laura. Mom, your scripture songs are amazing! We love them!
