my only queiry is why was the temple built in missouri around the jackson county area....maybe the Lord needs more than one temple in that area..but the one in Jackson county is so very important..I know that...I lived there for about 9yrs...I had a dream about it...I do stand amazed and waiting...

this sounds so wonderful. I was near death 2 yrs ago and wondered when that might happen what would I be like..would I be afraid and go crazy thinking about dying..well, I was so sick and so weak that I decided to one day just lay my hands across my chest so that when my husband came home he would find me looking half way decent..so while laying there I had a dream...at least it felt like one but I was slightly awake..and the Lord told me it wasnt my time yet and showed me myself in the after life and I saw me being so busy at a desk like thing..I was amazed and so over joyed..well, that did it for me..I didnt mind passing if that was what I had to look forward to...working..I wouldnt have to worry about this body being so ill. however patriarch R G, my patriarchal blessing is different then most..it has no mention of me rising in the first resurection...on the morning thereof..It kind of bothered me and I let it go because I have a problem with anxiety and back then when my blessing was given to me I was afraid of death and to see my death mentioned it would have scared me..but many preisthood leaders have joked about it saying sister cloud what would you have done not to have that blessing..and others have said maybe you will be alive and that is why..it does say to keep myself worthy and as valiant as I was in the preexistance...I was even told to ask a patriarch to lay his hands on my head and one offered to but I was afraid and when I wasnt then I was refused..so as of today I let it go...I just know that there is nothing I can do to save me that has already been done by my savior but we will be judged according to what we did here on this earth and how we lived...

I testify into you that all this promises were told to righteous both young or elder trough the patriarchal priesthood by the power of the Holy Ghost.
