Little Children
Bruce R. McConkie


 
Question: What is a child and who are children?

Answer: A child is an adult spirit in a newly born body...He was an adult before birth; he is an adult at death.

Question: What is mortal birth?

Answer: It is the process by which mature, sentient, intelligent beings pass from pre-existence into a mortal sphere. It is the process by which we bring from premortality to mortality the traits and talents acquired and developed in our long years of spirit existence.
