Welcome to follow him favorites. This is where John and I share a single story to go with this

week's lesson. John, we're in Alma 39 through 42 today. Alma is speaking to his son,

Cori Ann, and you've told me you have a story

that goes along with what chapter it goes along with Alma 40

Alma says this really interesting very detailed thing about what happens when you die.

Verse 11, starting in verse 11, concerning the state of the soul between death and resurrection,

it has been made known unto me by an angel that the spirits of all men as soon as they are

departed from this mortal body, yea the spirits of all men whether they be good or

evil are taken home to that God who gave them life and then it shall come to pass

the spirits of those who are righteous

are received into a state of happiness which is called paradise a state of

rest a state of peace where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care and sorrow. Wow, great verses. It's beautiful. Yeah, and I have a story. I was

speaking down in Australia many years ago and I met this sister and she briefly told me her conversion story and I was like oh my goodness

well you send that to me and she did her name Nicole Oliver these are her words and I'm sharing this with her

permission she said I was working at an These are her words and I'm sharing this with her permission.

She said, I was working at an oncology hospital and the ward that I was on had several

patients whose disease had become terminal and they were there for palliative care.

Hank, I didn't know what palliative means,

but it's kind of a, make them as comfortable as you can't type of thing.

It's an end of life care.

Got it.

On many occasions, the conversation between them would turn to the thought of what happens when you die.
