As spirit daughters of God, women ‘received their first lessons in the world of spirits and were prepared to come forth’ on the earth. They were among the ‘noble and great ones’ who ‘shouted for joy’ at the creation of the earth because they would be given a physical body with the opportunity to be proven in a mortal sphere. They wished to work side by side with righteous men to accomplish eternal goals that neither can attain independently. Female roles did not begin on earth, and they do not end here. A woman who treasures motherhood on earth will treasure motherhood in the world to come”
