“According to Latter-day Saint doctrine, the spirit world is the place of residence for all those who have died and are awaiting the resurrection and the inseparable connection of their spirits and bodies. Thus, it is not the place where God the Father, the resurrected Lord, and other resurrected beings dwell. Rather, it is an intermediate condition or state where people await the resurrection—a sphere where disembodied spirits live in one of several conditions according to what their mortal lives have merited.”
– Dale C. Mouritsen, “The Spirit World, Our Next Home,” Ensign, January 1977.

Thanks for sharing this important message. I have just spent the last 2 hours reading this article.
