President Nelson spoke of “a tender separation three months ago” when his daughter, Wendy Nelson Maxfield, died of cancer.
“We miss our daughter greatly. However, because of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, we do not worry about her.”
In the days after his daughter’s death, President Nelson visited Paradise, California. He met a firefighter who worked during the November 2018 fire that destroyed Paradise, without knowing if his family was safe.
The account of the firefighter’s concern for his family “has prompted me to speak today with those of you who may ask when approaching the end of your mortal life, ‘Where is my family?’ In that coming day when you will complete your mortal probation and enter the spirit world, you will be brought face-to-face with that heart-wrenching question: “Where is my family?”
The Savior Himself has “made it abundantly clear that while His resurrection assures that every person who ever lived will indeed be resurrected and live forever, much more is required if we want to have the high privilege of exaltation. While salvation is an individual matter, exaltation is a family matter.”
