In this October 1975 general conference address, then-Elder Thomas S. Monson explains the love the Savior has for little children by sharing the story of Christal Methvin, a 10-year-old girl dying of cancer.
"I shall ever remember and never forget that early-morning journey to a heaven the Methvin family calls home. I have been in hallowed places — even holy houses — but never have I felt more strongly the presence of the Lord than in the Methvin home. Christal looked so tiny lying peacefully on such a large bed. The room was bright and cheerful. The sunshine from the east window filled the bedroom with light as the Lord filled our hearts with love," says President Monson.
