One image of the Mormon family is picturing the parents smiling at their children. Many children! Not just three or four children, but somewhere between seven and 15 children come to mind. It is part of the Morman beliefs, a duty to have large families. If they don't have the number seen in their premortality,they are incomplete. It is the word of prophecy on how many spirits should be part of the family. The spirits of unborn children must assume the bodies they are to have, coming to live with a specific family for the time at hand and on into eternity. Those spirits will be waiting until it is right for them to join their parents and siblings. The bishop knows, the couple telling him of their plans. It is now the right time for another assumed body to come to earth.
