sixteen-year-old james who is child number three played the piano and sang peace in christ this time he is joined by the following oldest kuya carl jacob or cj 19 years old who is now currently serving in the philippines legaspi mission second child leia jeremy or lj 18 who is a psychology freshman in byu provo arielle jarrell or aj 14 who is in grade 9 and attends early morning seminary with james and last but not the least is zion job or cj 12 who is the family peacemaker their mom plays the piano and she made sure all her children started learning piano at age seven the kids caught the music bug and moved on to other instruments and eventually formed their own band the family that prays together stays together parasa alva sibling suguru it's the family that makes music together stays together here they are with their fun cover of what family means to me from the 2017 mutual album let's give it up for all this five [Music] [Music] what does family mean does it only need a mom and dad and a couple kids sure that's where it all begins but wedding bands and mortgage loans aren't what make a house a home it's so much more than just the basic things it's all that happens in between road trip driving till the break of dawn off singing to my favorite songs and jumping and yelling chilling my making mistakes then forgiving forgetting and loving no matter what we do we're gonna make it through because it isn't just a box to take forever dreaming bigger than a bank account we'll always have enough to make ends meet means to me it's working hard and giving up the things we want for something more yet so much more making mistakes and forgiving forgetting and what learning means to me that's what family mean to me [Music] if you just joined us this is hear him through music a show produced by the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints featuring youth and ysa singers from all over the country that was elvis 5 from kabul stick with their version of what family means to me i guess it's obvious why they chose the song from the video it looks like they really have fun spending time together as a family you need them making music but esports and of course church activities it's perfect for our celebration of national family week with our theme building forever families and speaking of family i heard your family faced a serious health crisis recently 19 infection and parents knee jesse and they were both hospitalized and they both recovered from the illness and we asked the family if it was okay to share that info and not uttawa naman kamina they agreed to dangerous 19. so let's all get vaccinated and take the utmos it was a little scary because one weekend as a hospital my parents go and then it was just me and my four siblings who were left at the house and at the time news reports and so many social media accounts were posting stuff of how so many people were dying of kovit 19 but we were blessed that a lot of church members uh including our bishop and his wife they brought us home-cooked meals and treats and then after my parents were finally discharged from the hospital uh they had to be quarantined for an additional two weeks so even our steak president and his wife did grocery shopping for us when we couldn't well grab it it's good to know that members of the church minister to you and your family in your hour of need now family week we should also celebrate people who are not related to us by blood but are just like family as well kathleen church family not in the back nam and shampre we also have our church friends who are like family lagging when we need uh when we need help and pero hindi language is a church my friends die so work versus school or neighbors religious affiliation i saw broncos that's right there's a family we are born into and there's a family that we choose because of this kind of family our experience with kobe 19 was not as horrible as it could have been so on behalf of our family marami salamat let's love and support you yes okay so let's move on to our next guest it's missionaries from the philippines with the one mission singing together we often hear of returned missionaries staying close to their companions and co-missionaries even way after their missions in fact the mission president and his wife are always referred to as mission parents that is why i'm excited to go on a mission when i turn 18. my dad would sometimes tell the stories of his mission experiences and kasama in the new lifelong friendships they formed like you said at the mikey foreign family yes and this family of bouton missionaries were directed in this number by their recently released mission mom sister mia san gabriel with with the able support of former bottom one mission

voice is really good we all sing but yeah and i'm rock and i'm nine and i he shows up eats the food yeah there's football so so nice to meet you guys can you tell us how torch family music started and why did you choose that name for the group yeah so we just loved to sing together as kids and we played piano and guitar lessons and then we decided that um as we were singing that we loved doing this together and so then we just started it started from there and around two a few years ago we started our youtube channel and we just started putting music on there because we love to sing together and we wanted to share uplifting messages and we chose the name torch family music because torch we chose um stands for the light of christ this is a scripture that we that we have you might have seen on some of our social media channels it's matthew 5 and it's matthew 5 14-16 and this is kind of why we picked the name torch i'm going to read it for you you're the light of the world a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel but on a candlestick and it giveth light unto all that are in the house yea let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven so we love that part that says that they may see your good works and glorify our father which is in heaven we feel like we've been gifted with the gift of music as a family that we have to share to help people to see jesus christ and so we this is kind of our theme scripture that we use and why we called ourselves torch was because we want to be that light on the hill to help others see jesus christ throughout the music that we share i love that scripture about letting our light shine that explains the name of the group really really well what made you guys decide to cover a tagalog song or what made you guys decide to cover tagalog songs we we love the philippines and my dad served a mission for the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints there and so uh we felt like we we loved the filipino people and we wanted to share that through tagalog and uh it was definitely kind of hard right you want to share it what was it like for you rock this is it mapa was his first time singing pokemon yes um it was really hard to like figure out the words yeah and yeah this is different than in english one time we were driving home and i heard rock just seeing you still over and over again so you could remember the words and like you got it down english is actually my main language so i understand the struggle with tagalog so aside from producing music what else is family into so something that we support in the philippines is education for disadvantaged or poor filipino youth and we have a foundation called believe international.org and it is an organization that provides scholarship money to filipinos children that are poor and struggling to gain an education they're very smart students they all have really high gpas and really their grade point average is really high but they just don't have the money to attain an education so so my parents or their their grandparents served as missionaries in the san pablo mission many years ago and that's when my parents decided to form that foundation believe international and so you can learn more about it by going to believe international.org and especially if you can help donate to that cause it is excellent to to help with education there in the philippines and i got to write a theme album for the organization and to so that they can have some theme music and we got to tour out in the philippines last february 2020 right before covet and we got to perform that album at the school's different school assemblies sponsored by believes so it's a cool experience so it really is a music ministry i love how you not only hear him through music but you are also using music to help others come unto him so what do you see ahead of torch family music and please um share your future plans with us yeah i think we want to continue music specifically more tagalog songs um we hope to be able to go back to the philippines and um tour around doing firesides and other school assemblies but also possibly doing some music camps we've done some music camps here and we'd love to bring them to the performance workshops for kids yeah yeah and really we want to just continue to spread positive messages that bring people unto christ on social media and that's been our goal for since the beginning to be able to share positive messages about jesus christ we would love to meet you in person when this pandemic is over aside from what you've already mentioned what else do you find memorable about your trip to the philippines i really loved
