Mother Eve and Many of her Faithful Daughters . . .

Tonight as part of our scripture study, we read this from Section 138 of the Doctrine and Convenants:

(Verse 57) I beheld that the faithful elders of this dispensation, when they depart from mortal life, continue their labors in the preaching of the gospel of repentance and redemption, through the sacrifice of the Only Begotten Son of God, among those who are in darkness and under the bondage of sin in the great world of the spirits of the dead.

President Joseph F. Smith, in this section, also noted that among the gathering of the "noble and great ones" called to preach the gospel to those who have passed on are Mother Eve and "many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the ages and worshiped the true and living God."

Marina joined them tonight.

As we read, and as the texts poured in from family with the news of her passing, I received a witness that this is what Marina will be doing -- preaching the gospel to those who have waited long to hear it. And that is a comforting thing.

This is her favorite song. And she can sing it still.
