Pilot in World War II
flew over the Hump
in China/India
protrcting the
Flying Tigers...
During World War II,
"The Hump" was the nickname given to the eastern end of the Himalayan
Mountains. Allied pilots flew military transport aircraft over this
perilous route from Assam Province, India to Kunming, China
(spanning roughly 500+ miles).
Key Details of the
Hump Route:
- Purpose: It served as a
vital, around-the-clock aerial supply line to resupply Chinese forces and
U.S. Army Air Forces units after Japanese forces cut off the overland
Burma Road in 1942.
- Conditions: Flights were
extremely hazardous, requiring planes to climb from near sea level up over
15,000 to 20,000-foot peaks facing severe monsoons, violent turbulence,
icing, and high-altitude winds.
- Cost: Often called
the "Aluminum Trail" due to the high number of crashes, the
operation lost roughly 600 aircraft and over 1,600 airmen.

** *I am so thankful for The Plan of Salvation and the Atonement of Jesus Christ that makes this
Great Plan operational.
At the end of this November 15th, 2026I pray you have had a restful, peaceful, and spiritual Sabbath Day...
I share these truths as my testimony to you...
Heavenly Father lives and knows us each by name. He loves us and wants us to return to Him and Heavenly Mother when we leave this mortal existence. He loves us just as we are at this very moment.

President Dallin H.Oaks said...
"For as we have a Father in heaven, so also we have a Mother there, a glorified, exalted, ennobled Mother. That is a startling doctrine, I recognize, to some folk, and yet we ought to be governed by reason in giving consideration to this doctrine which is a revelation from God" (Sermons and Mission Services of Melvin Joseph Ballard, 205).
"For reasons the Lord has not revealed, we do not know much about a Heavenly Mother. But we have been told that the purpose of life on earth is to give us the opportunity to grow toward being like our Heavenly Father. And we know that we are children of Heavenly Parents. So we know that we have a Heavenly Mother or Mothers. But for reasons the Lord has not revealed, we do not know much about our Heavenly Mother. But we know we must have one because both men and women are working for exaltation . . ." - President Oaks

Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all.
“An omnicompetent God leaves all mortals free to choose, but how grateful we should be that God chose long, long ago to rescue and to resurrect all His children through the Atonement of His Son. Nevertheless, some reject and many are indifferent to these and other divine beckonings, mostly because they are too caught up in the cares of the world. They are strangers to the Savior, who is far from the thoughts and intents of their hearts.”Neal A Maxwell

Revelation 19:16: -- "And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS".

The Bible is "the Word of God as far as it is translated correctly" and is a Testament of the Divinity of Jesus Christ.*** *** ***The Book of Mormon is the Word of God and is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It is the most correct book of any book on earth.*** *** ***The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the True Church on the earth today.
