Carborendum Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Did anyone hear about this? I guess he got a bit too excited to have his dream fulfilled. Tough breaks. LDSGator and zil2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveler Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 I am of the opinion that few things of this life are as they appear. I had a younger brother that grew up mostly after I had left home (and moved far away from my family). I only knew him while he was a child. He died in an accident a few months after he returned home from his mission. His death was particularly hard on my parents. During my younger brother’s funeral, I had an experience that is somewhat difficult to explain. My brother came to me and communicated with me – it was a profound spiritual experience for me. I learned that our mortal existence has what I would best describe as presets. One of the major presets is the time of our death. On rare occasions there can be an extension or contraction concerning our time of death pending on circumstances. Many sorrowed for my brother thinking that his time on earth had been shortened. I learned that his time had been extended to serve a mission. I inquired why my brother came to me rather than my parents or other family members. I learned that the reason was because our parents and other family members were too stricken with grief and my brother could not connect with them. I was to let them know that my brother was blessed to fulfill a mission. Also, that he was about a good work and would not be denied any blessings and should not be mourned for dying young. It took several years for my parents to be comforted. Like the song “Come Come Ye Saints”, And if we die before our journey {seems} through – Happy Day, all is well.

Backroads Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Part of me chocks it up to a random timing of events: why not collapse after opening a call as opposed to any other event? But it somehow feels meaningful. My prayers with the loved ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikbone Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I’m wondering who did his mission physical exam. I do my own children missionary H&Ps and one of my boys had a fast heart rate. I sent him to get a cardiology consult. NeuroTypical and Backroads 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
