My parents had a group of close friends. Between them there were 18 children totally raised in the church in a strong ward, with excellent youth programme. Lots of ward and stake activities. Out of the families they raised 18 children. 4 remain active in the church. That equates to a 22% activity rate. We are not from USA but I thought it was an interesting statistic. Is it replicated in your family friendship groups? Also interesting to note. Three served missions of all the children. All three remain active. Four were Temple endowed. I am the only Temple endowed to leave tscc.
