I saw that nobody left a comment yet, thats a hard topic to speak about. Brady and I have actually talked about the resurrection recently and this is what we decided about it. #1 it will be a wonderful thing, and everyone will be perfect. #2 We will know everything that was not explained here on earth. Like why did we practice polygamy? #3 everyone who has a body will be resurrected reguardless of how good they were here on earth. If you werent a very richeous person, you would be ressurected in the last part of the 1000 years here on earth, the richeous would be resurrected at the beginning to be with Jesus. Sorry that was long. Hoped that helped. Good luck. Hannah

Hey Shannon!
You should check out the Spencer Mack family blog: sgmackfam.blogspot.com

On the 15th of this month this young family had a little boy who was born with a smooth brain (meaning he won't be able to do much of anything normal or even be able to think or recognize anything EVER) and they had to decide whether or not to keep him on life support. They are members of the church and had the BEST and purest HOPE from the atonement and were able to let him go back to Heavenly Father last week without much sadness. Check out their blog and just read about the story and the many cool testimonies of hope and peace they have shared. It might be a cool story for your talk...

Just thought I'd suggest it. Good luck! Let us know how it goes!

Quiero compartir algo, el sábado pasado fuímos a un funeral (Misa Católica) por un papá de una amiga de Jorge, mi esposo.
Estubimos respetuosamente en su reunión por su fallecimiento, pero al ver a su familia que estaban muy tristes, orando por él, incluso "Raquel" la amiga de Jorge; comprendimos que gracias al tener el Evangelio de Jesucristo restaurado, tenemos la certeza de que Resucitarémos un día, y más que eso, estarémos Sellados por la eternidad a nuestros seres queridos que morirán y que ya han muerto...está esperanza solo se obtiene gracias a la VERDAD COMPLETA, por medio de la Restauración y al Gran Amor de Nuestro Padre Celestial y Su Hijo Jesucristo por nosotros y esto se tranforma en resumen en REAL GOZO a pesar de que se mueran los que más apreciamos en está vida.

Espero que les sirba y lo lean a tiempo xoxo.
