We know that there was a great council in heaven before we began our life here on earth. In that council all of us here chose to follow our Heavenly Father's plan to come to earth, receive a body, be tested and tried, face joy and sorrow, experience hardship and gladness, rely on our Savior's atonement and then one day hopefully return to Him. I've tried to imagine what that time must have been like. Thanks to my experience today I think I know a little more how it may have been.
Today Viana had open house for kindergarten. The parents got to go and get all the paperwork one cold ever dream of, and the children got to follow their new teacher around for a class tour and procedure explanation. I watched as this little group of children were preparing for their next step in life. They were confident that it was time for them to be in kindergarten. They were a little bit nervous to do something they had never done before. They were eager to obey their teacher. They sought to please her and follow her lead. They were excited about all the new things they would get to do. It was so neat to see such a blend of emotion that ultimately equaled knowledge of potential and plan. Which, my friends, is the beauty of the plan of salvation. We have a plan to follow, and if we do we have such promising potential within us.
