I can't wait to witness major historic events. Brigham Young taught we'll be able to witness anything from history we
wish:
"The brightness and glory of the next apartment is inexpressible. It is not encumbered so that when we advance in years we have to be stubbing along and be careful lest we fall down. We see our youth, even, frequently stubbing their toes and falling down. But yonder, how different! They move with ease and like lightning. If we want to visit Jerusalem, or this, that, or the other place—and I presume we will be permitted if we desire—there we are, looking at its streets. If we want to behold Jerusalem as it was in the days of the Savior; or if we want to see the Garden of Eden as it was when created, there we are, and we see it as it existed spiritually, for it was created first spiritually and then temporally, and spiritually it still remains. And when there we may behold the earth as at the dawn of creation, or we may visit any city we please that exists upon its surface. If we wish to understand how they are living here on these western islands, or in China, we are there; in fact, we are like the light of the morning. … God has revealed some little things, with regard to his movements and power, and the operation and motion of the lightning furnish a fine illustration of the ability of the Almighty (DBY, 380)."

Also, this quote was included in the officially Church published Teachings of Brigham Young manual they had all Elders and Relief Societies use for their instruction back when they started the Teachings of the Presidents series. All quotes included in those manuals were HEAVILY vetted and had to meet approval from the brethren to ensure accuracy, both literally and doctrinally. It is in Ch. 38 in that manual:
