"Why is it that sometimes only one of a city or household receives the gospel? It was made known to me that it is because of the righteous dead who had received the gospel in the spirit world exercising themselves, and in answer to their prayers elders of the Church were sent to the homes of their posterity that the gospel might be taught to them, and through their righteousness they might be privileged to have a descendant in the flesh do the work for their dead kindred. I want to say to you that it is with greater intensity that the hearts of the fathers and mothers in the spirit world are turned to their children than that our hearts are turned to them."

ReplyDeleteWonderful! By the way, I like the new look of your blog. Pretty fancy! Do you find out what you are having this month? I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteWow! Two posts in two days! ;0) JK! That IS a neat one! It sure makes sense!
ReplyDeleteNot funny, Amber! Just kidding. I have tried to post some family pictures but the server is not cooperating. So, I had to put up these quotes instead. They are good ones. Andrea, I go to the doctor on Monday and they will set up an ultrasound. I can't wait to see our baby boy! (That is what Mom says we are having and I don't doubt her!)Love you my sisters!
