A woman leaves her husband, taking her two children with her. Members of the ward sign up to do service for them, including Brother Johnson, whose wife is terminally ill. The woman has a revelation that she is going to marry Brother Johnson when his wife dies, so they set about having their families spend time with each other to prepare to live together in time and eternity. The arrangement continues, with Sister Johnson holding onto life for longer than expected, until the oldest Johnson boy returns from his mission and realizes someone needs to put a stop to it.
