I'm trying to be better about this. I really wanted to be better with our family blog, but I don't know if our life is interesting enough to update as often.
So just a little tidbit, I'm sure most people have a testimony of this, but prayer is AMAZING! I'll leave it at that. Anyway, I was just reading in 3 Nephi 28, and I found the insights on what happened with the 3 Nephites very interesting.
36 And now behold, as I spake concerning those whom the Lord hath chosen, yea, even three who were caught up into the heavens, that I knew not whether they were cleansed from mortality to immortality—
37 But behold, since I wrote, I have inquired of the Lord, and he hath made it manifest unto me that there must needs be a change wrought upon their bodies, or else it needs be that they must taste of death;
38 Therefore, that they might not taste of death there was a change wrought upon their bodies, that they might not suffer pain nor sorrow save it were for the sins of the world.
39 Now this change was not equal to that which shall take place at the last day; but there was a change wrought upon them, insomuch that Satan could have no power over them, that he could not tempt them; and they were sanctified in the flesh, that they were holy, and that the powers of the earth could not hold them.
40 And in this state they were to remain until the judgment day of Christ; and at that day they were to receive a greater change, and to be received into the kingdom of the Father to go no more out, but to dwell with God eternally in the heavens.
So the don't have resurrected bodies, but the are changed to where they aren't subject to illness and the terrible sorrows that can come from having a human body. I'm not going to lie, but that sounds pretty nice. That's in verse 38.
I was thinking that that would be pretty great, but then I got wondering if being alive forever would be really lonely? Just food for thought.
