A PROMISE WE MADE IN THE PRE-EXISTENCE

My Great, Great Grandmother Kaijsa Petersdotter, was 8 months pregnant, when she travelled to America for the Gospel. She caught Black Smallpox from a crew member on board the ship, which started her in early labor, and she gave birth to a daughter Diantha, who also was born with smallpox. Kaijsa died, and was buried at sea - but her little daughter survived, through the kindness of another Mormon Sister on the ship, who nursed her, until they arrived in America. Her father who had already emigrated to join with the Church took her to Orangeville, Utah. She married in the Church and gave birth to my Grandmother. As I read of Kaijsa hardships - I am grateful that because we made a promise in the pre-existence to the Lord, through Temple ordinances she has her husband and her child sealed to her.
