D&C 99
After the Savior's appearance in the Americas, He gave the option to His apostles of what they desired. Most wanted to come to Him after a life of usefulness, and three wanted to continue serving on the earth. It appears to me the Lord gave John Murdock the option of his desires saying -
"...after a few years, if thou desirest of me, thou mayest go up also unto the goodly land, to possess thine inheritance;
8 Otherwise thou shalt continue proclaiming my gospel until thou be taken..." (Doctrine and Covenants 99:7–8)
