Post #1-This is How "Things as They Really Are" Really is

My favorite part of Elder Bednar's "Things as They Really Are" is when he says:"Our physical bodies make possible a breadth, a depth, and an intensity of experience that simply could not be obtained in our premortal estate." Having a physical body is part of the Plan of Salvation that we all agreed to before our present life on earth. It is also how we fulfill our ordinances. For those in the postmortal spirit world who did not perform their ordinances in their prior earthly life, we must step in and do proxy ordinances for them. After death, one does not have the same ability to progress that those who have bodies enjoy.
