Pre-existence
Ensign, February 2012, The Doctrine of the Father; “Our Heavenly Father has chosen not to reveal many details of our premortal life with Him. Perhaps this is because we can learn many things simply by observing the pattern for righteous families He established on the earth…the birth of a child is the result of a conscious and loving choice. It is the miraculous result of caring and deliberate actions taken by parents to participate with Heavenly Father in the sacred process of creating a mortal body for one of His spirit children.” – LDS Apostle Quentin L. Cook http://www.lds.org/ensign/2012/02/the-doctrine-of-the-father?lang=eng
