- In the pre-earth life, we lived as spirit children of Heavenly Father in His house for ages and were well acquainted with Him and His Son Jesus Christ. We rejoiced at the opportunity to receive earthly bodies and demonstrate our love for Them. - As spirit children of God, we possessed spiritual bodies and faculties that allowed us to think, feel, see, and experience spiritual things. We helped with the creation of the earth under the direction of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. - When we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost after baptism, it quickens our spiritual capacities and adapts to our physical attributes, strengthening our connection to God and enabling us to access spiritual gifts
