Wilford Woodruff quote on pg. 153
- Preaching the gospel is our duty (even in Wymount)
Joseph Smith quote on pg. 151
- The words of the Prophets are being fulfilled
- All of lives have been touched by missionary work in some way or another
- Numbers in missionary work do not matter. Changing lives does
- We need to fight to be diligent in doing what you know what is right
- Only staying just above a world slowly going down brings you down too
Joseph Smith quote on pg. 151-152
- There is a stark contrast between the good news of the gospel and the bad news of the world
- The gospel comforts the afflicted, and afflicts the comforted
- Is it fair to bring children into this world? Yes, when we focus on the good in this world including the restored gospel
- Know about the world and what is going to happen to be prepared
- The world is a plunging swirlie
- People are our brothers and sisters, mot sins. We need to love them
- Do not fear the world
- Do not exclude others. Make them feel comfortable and create opportunities for them to feel the spirit, not self-conscious.
- We need to let others be free to make choices and accept them for who they are.
- Be gentle examples
- Be ready and willing to be a missionary
- Pray, and eventually an opportunity will come
M. Russell Ballard (2003) quote from a talk on being a member missionary
