I had believed that we all lived before the existence we had. Ever since I was seven years old, I asked, pondered the question, there has to be more to life than this. And I was always wondering, is there more? And I know there's more. But how do I obtain that knowledge? Where do I get it?

When the missionaries were teaching us, it was more of fitting two pieces of a puzzle together. It felt a lot like that. We were all children of our Heavenly Father long before the Earth was formed. And that is just so reassuring. It makes you-- it empowers you, that there is more to life than what you see in front of you. That our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love us to an immeasurable extent. To know the truth of this, it changes your mindset. And if you really give it a chance, it will definitely change your life, from whatever it was, to what it can be and what it will ultimately be.
