The three, known in modern literature as the Three Nephites, are given their desire. It is difficult to comprehend the nature of their desire. To date, they have waited for the transition to the next life for over two thousand years. Two thousand years of working for the kingdom. Jesus blessed them with a lack of mortal pains and sorrows, but that part of the blessing also meant that there would be little rest. They had not requested a life of leisure, but one of work— very long life of work.
