ChuckOctober 17, 2019

My parents named me "Nulon Chalmers Sanford, III", a very unusual name, then nicknamed me "Chuck". When I was baptized over 48 years ago, I knew my Heavenly Father knew me, by name, and had things for me to do in mortality. He still assigns things to me. He still knows my name.

I've been reassured several times by the Spirit that the duplicated names of many of my ancestors are each known, even if I have trouble telling who's who. Having birth or death dates really helps, though!

I was in a sealing session once, where we mangled a bunch of Dutch names. I thought, "I sure hope somebody knows who we're talking about." A voice in my mind responded: "Yeah, we know, we have our own lists."

Wonderful and delightful examples of a simple concept which has very deep meaning.
