• STORY: Grandson with severe illness requiring bone marrow transplant, great risk from reduced immunity. Brother is a match and gave his blood and the brothers now share blood DNA.

• Parallels to the atonement of the Savior, Jesus Christ:

• Child could not save himself but did have to submit to the Dr.’s instructions.

• Sick child must change their DNA to match the brother. We literally must change to become like our Savior. Only through him is such a change possible.

• Our change to perfection is only possible through God’s grace. Child could not perform doctors’ duties. “We should not assume we need to do what only the Savior can do in the miraculous process of our perfection.”

• Joy in healing among the whole family. Imagine the great joy in heaven when we change our souls.
