Fairness and respecting others are important for building strong communities. People should help others move towards their future rather than judging them for their past.
To mirror God's likeness, people should use reason and intellect, feel emotions, love others, and serve others. Taking moments of stillness allows people to feel God's presence even during busy times.
Families can proclaim God's liberating acts through small acts of service together like volunteering, helping neighbors, or bringing food to those in need. Regular family dinners also help build love and relationships.

Journal # 1 of Module 2 (Sandiwa): Your Presence gives Justice!
1. Do you relate with others with fairness and honesty? How?
Fairness is very important in a community. Everyone needs to follow the rules, be respectful of one another and work together to build a strong and beautiful community. They can do this by getting together in a friendly way to solve problems and make rules that are fair to everyone. Instead of judging people by their past, stand by them and help them build their future. Everyone has a past. Some are a source of pride, and others are best left behind. But whatever their past, people do change and grow, so instead of judging, stand by and support them as they move toward their future. Treat them with respect and make their journey your own. 2. Does your presence mirror a just God? In what way/s? Imaging God practically means mirroring both his moral and non-moral likeness. Mirroring God’s moral likeness means exercising decision-making power, having dominion over lower creation, living in social relationships with others, feeling our emotions, loving, serving, and communicating. Mirroring God’s non-moral likeness means using our intellect and reason to think and that we can be creative with the materials God has created; it also includes our immortality as will live spiritually even after dying physically. With everything from school and work to family and friends, it can often feel like we don't have time to breathe and remember God—but it's in those small, quiet moments that we feel Him the most. Allow yourself moments of stillness throughout the day, taking the time to search for His presence. 3. Describe the concrete ways your presence proclaims the liberating acts of God in the midst of your family, friends, and colleagues in the medical field. Perform small acts of service together as a family. Whether you do formal volunteer work, rake the leaves in a neighbor’s yard, or simply bring soup to a sick family member, compassionate service will bring your family closer to each other and to your Heavenly Father. We read in the scriptures, “When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God” (Mosiah 2:17). Another example is to spend mealtime together. Make an effort to gather the whole family around the table during dinnertime. Regularly getting the whole family together during mealtime can help build better relationships. It will help increase the love in your home.
