“It is most significant that it was this for which the Nephite twelve prayed above all else. As Christ had not yet appeared to them for this second day (and because the Father and Son could not permanently be with them—or us—in a telestial world), the next best companionship came from that member of the Godhead who can be with mortals permanently—the Holy Ghost … who is the spiritual extension and telestial representative of the Father and the Son” (Holland, Christ and the New Covenant, 278).
