Spirit World

“We know that death is not the end.” President Thomas S. Monson, General Conference, April 1, 2012

“Who then will enter the kingdom of heaven? Not those who merely do wonderful works using the name of the Lord, Jesus taught, but only “he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Elder Dallin H. Oaks, Ensign, November 2011, pg 90-93

“No child needs to walk the path alone so long as we speak freely to our children of the plan of salvation. Understanding the plan will help them hold to the truths that they are children of God and He has a plan for them, that they lived with Him in the premortal existence, that they shouted for joy to come to this earth, and that through the Savior’s help, we all can return to our Heavenly Father’s presence. If they understand the plan and who they are, they will not fear.” Rosemary M. Wixom, Ensign, November 2010

“The temporal is intertwined with the spiritual. God has given us this mortal experience and the temporal challenges that attend it as a laboratory where we can grow into the beings Heavenly Father wants us to become.” President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Ensign, November 2011; pg 19-22

“I am excited about these and other developments. Tasks that once seemed beyond reach are now within our grasp. ‘With God nothing shall be impossible.’ A new harvest time has come. The way is opening by which we can obey His will and provide welding links between all dispensations and generations.” Elder Russell M. Nelson, General Conference, April 1998, LDS.org

Position:

After a lot of death in our family this last eight months, I have spent a lot of time thinking and praying about the Spirit World. I know that there is a place for us after this life. I know that we will be busy working and spreading the Gospel. I know that I can help those who are on the other side progress the work by doing genealogy and attending the temple here in this mortal state. I know that death is just another beginning, just like a birth. We enter into that next “phase” of being. One that will be a joyous occasion when the time is right.
