“In the Premortal spirit world, God
appointed certain spirits to fulfill specific missions during their mortal
lives. This is called foreordination…
“The doctrine of foreordination
applies to all members of the Church, not just the Savior and His prophets.
Before the creation of the earth, faithful women were given certain
responsibilities and faithful men were foreordained to certain priesthood duties.
Although you do not remember that time, you surely agreed to fulfill
significant tasks in the service of your Father” (True to the Faith: A Gospel Reference 2004, 69,70.)
