Time does not exist in heaven. That’s where the eternal or “for eternity” part comes from.

Many members assumed the reason for the one year wait period was to allow those who passed away an opportunity to be taught the gospel. I’m curious to know the source(s) for the Presidents Smith and Grant reference. As always, keep up the great work!!!
