What is the first thing you plan to do after dying?
Between visiting family members and exploring the spirit world, Id also love to watch past earth events to see what actually happened.

Re: What is the first thing you plan to do after dying?
When I think about the afterlife I always seem to think about my mission. I said goodbye to my friends and family, knowing I'll see them in a few years. Had some quick training at the MTC then sent off to my area in Canada. Was assigned a new companion and went to work full time. I don't think the afterlife is much different. There's a lot of work for the salvation of souls taking place- a lot of teaching. It's all organized but I'm not sure how it's organized. Here we have branches, wards, stakes, missions etc. and callings to fill positions. I think the spirit world will have similar organizations but probably more patriarchal. My opinion.
Section 138 talks about what happens in the spirit world. The righteous teach and the unrighteous are taught.
It would be awesome to go explore the solar system on P-day.

Do you believe that is possible? Do you think it will be possible for all spirits? How will it affect the missionary work, if the spirits can go and see if the events told in the scriptures actually took place? Especially, if people can see the life of Jesus.

I plan on asking for permission to go say a word of comfort or two to members of my family who survive me. It really helps.

You are a much better person than me, because I was thinking of going to haunt some people.

Re: What is the first thing you plan to do after dying?
Initially I smirked a little at this thread title, then I started considering it.
I don't want to stick around and watch the family spend my life insurance.
I don't want to wander aimlessly between worlds.
I want to see my grandma, but only for a moment to tell her I'm sorry, and ask her where I find Him.

Of course, greeting family, friends, and the Lord, and doing work assigned to me, is the highest priority, but after that, when recreation time comes, I would like to take an extended trip with a crew on a starship.

Jump for joy. Kneel in gratitude and joy. Family and friends. Comfort, if better. Get to work.

I seek out my friend and apologize for the pain and suffering my actions cause so many years ago.

Re: What is the first thing you plan to do after dying?
My kids even know what I would do...I would first eat a huge piece of chocolate cake dowsed in lots of chocolate frosting. Because of my illness I have had to remove many beloved foods over the years. Now I know this seems stupid, because I'm sure that food in the spirit world will not have the meaning or hold on us like it does here. For that matter we may not even need it! Second, I would search out my g-g-grandfather and beg, "why didn't you help/send the answers to me concerning who your parents were?" In other words seek the answers to our family's evasive and frustrating brick wall in family history. (actually these would take a back seat to first hugging my grandmother, and those close family members who have already passed)

I thought root beer was your vice? The church has an addiction recovery program, I was addicted to Gain laundry soap, but I'm clean now.

Root beer... I wish!
We can't really get it over here in the motherland.
If we could, that would certainly cure me of my Pepsi addiction. I think they call it replacement therapy.

I tell my kids all the time. I'm going on a trip to England. I want to see the old churches and the sites. I'll just fly over there for a bit. Maybe see some other places while I am at it.

Re: What is the first thing you plan to do after dying?
I wonder if the next life will be different than this one.
I used to try to keep in touch with family, but noticed they weren't very interested. Often would travel long ways to visit and their church friends would show up and I'd be over in the corner.
I haven't talked to most of my siblings since my mom's funeral in March. Last month on my birthday, my brother, a bishop, texted happy BD, and told me to come visit (2 hours away). He said he would visit me, but he's too busy. I wondered why bother to go there if he's so busy.
He probably puts 20 hours a week into being a bishop, so no time left for family.
Likewise my parents would travel a few states away to go to some church event for family, and pass by our house and were only ever able to visit for 15 minutes or so.
Years ago we were stationed in Illinois, with 3 little kids. Invited folks to visit but they were too busy. Couple months later they were called on mission to WV, so they sold house and went there without stopping to visit and see their grandkids.
I figure in the next life we'll be so busy with our callings or home teaching or temple/missionary work to have time for family.
Turns out the church is the family.

Try not to lose it while learning to deal with the complexities that exist outside of our senses.

I'd like a private tour of the universe. Zoom-out and see all of the galaxies in Telestial space.Matchmaker wrote: ↑October 17th, 2017, 4:46 am Of course, greeting family, friends, and the Lord, and doing work assigned to me, is the highest priority, but after that, when recreation time comes, I would like to take an extended trip with a crew on a starship.

I'm sure anyone who has entered the spirit realm has gone crazy for a while

I'd like to explore other Earths (if I can) and look at all of World History up until the present

Re: What is the first thing you plan to do after dying?
I'm so fixated on just seeing my dad again that I haven't thought about much else.
This will probably have to wait, but I want to know how the world was created. And dinosaurs. What's up with dinosaurs?
