We lived before our birth. Our individual identity is stamped in us forever. In ways we don’t fully understand, our spiritual growth there in the premortal world influences who we are here. We accepted God’s plan. We knew that we would experience difficulties, pain, and sorrow upon the earth. We also knew that the Savior would come and that as we proved ourselves worthy, we would rise in the Resurrection, having “glory added upon [our] heads for ever and ever.” (Abraham 3:26)
Elder Andersen teaches that we can know truth through the scriptures, our personal prayers, our own experiences, the counsel of the living prophets and apostles, and the guidance of the Holy Ghost.
