so in sight of all that i have learned today i wanted to talk to the family about one thing that i have learned this week.

And this adeath of which I have spoken, which is the spiritual death, shall deliver up its dead; which spiritual death is bhell; wherefore, death and hell must cdeliver up their dead, and hell must deliver up its dcaptive espirits, and the grave must deliver up its captive fbodies, and the bodies and the gspirits of men will be hrestored one to the other; and it is by the power of the resurrection of the Holy One of Israel.

 13 O how great the aplan of our God! For on the other hand, the bparadise of God must deliver up the spirits of the righteous, and the grave deliver up the body of the righteous; and the spirit and the body is crestored to itself again, and all men become incorruptible, and dimmortal, and they are living souls, having a eperfect fknowledge like unto us in the flesh, save it be that our knowledge shall be perfect.

so  this is 2nephi 9 and is talking about the seperation of the spirit and body. and what is called "Hell" which is the seperation from God. now you can say that we are in a "hell" here on earth but that is not true in a sense. we have he tools that can connect us to our LOVING HEAVENLY FATHER again. the greatest off all these tools is his only Begotten Son, our SAVIOUR and REDEEMER JESUS CHRIST. when he suffered in the Garden and Died on the cross and the rose again 3 days later he completed all his work. 

so by the Atonement of Christ all things that are wrong in the world can be made right. i know that is true i have seen it and felt it in my life.  i want the family to know that is only the by the atonement that we can obtain happiness and reading the scriptures that we can do so. we must rely upon the Lords promise in D & C 82:10 that says when we do what he has asked us he therefore much keep his end of the deal and bless us with the blessings. we cant afforid not to pay tithing, read the scriptures, pray daily, go to the temple(those who can and others prepare to go yourself). the Lord is bound when we do what he says and if we do not what he says WE HAVE NO PROMISE. i love you all so much and know that the church is true and that if we do what God has asked and rely on his son to help us through any time of trial we can get through it.

in the names of Jesus Christ amen.

love our families missinary
