Do I Know You?

Almost 2 years ago our ward and stake boundaries were reorganized and our family was put into a new ward and stake. To say the least, it was quite a culture shock to our whole family but we have survived.

A few months ago, sitting in stake conference waiting for it to start, I was watching people come in and out, getting set for the meeting. I didn't know very many people but I kept seeing people I felt I should know. As this phenomenon continued on it dawned on me that I probably do know them from another time and place.

Pondering this, I have come to the conclusion that I know these faces because of our preexistence experience. Your faces were the ones I knew before I came here, and as I have grown in the gospel and it becomes more clear to me, and the veil that has been put before my eyes thins, and I see you as I did before in Heaven.

Moving from one ward to another gives us the opportunity to reunite in spirit with those we might have known before. The Lord always has a reason for giving us the opportunity for change and it is truly amazing what change can bring.

I wait for the time when I will fully remember our experiences together and we become great friends again.
