Page "Afterlife" Paragraph 68

Latter Day Saints believe that the soul existed before earth life and will exist in the hereafter.

Angels are either spirits that have not yet come to earth to experience their mortality, or spirits or resurrected beings that have already passed through mortality and do the will of God.

See Job 38: 4-7, D & C 93: 29.

According to LDS Doctrine, Michael the Archangel became the first man on earth, Adam, to experience his mortality.

The Angel of Moroni visited the boy, Joseph Smith, after living out his mortal life in ancient America.

Later, he received Angelic administrations from the Apostles Peter, James, and John, John the Baptist, and others.
