Alma and Amulek were such good missionaries. I hope I was a good missionary on my mission. I mean I did try and I made a few mistakes but that is normal. I hope I  did what the Lord wanted me to do while I was out there. I still today think of those people I didn't talk to and wish I would have . I loved 16:13 where is says that they went to their temples, sanctuaries, and synagogues to preach to them. We as missionaries go to wherever is is most comfortable for them. Not to their church of another religion obviously but to their homes. We go to them to teach the word of God. I also love that they "inquired of the Lord" I need to do that by having more meaningful prayers. Example to us 17:2: "they waxed strong in the knowledge of truth; for they were men of sound understanding and they had searched the scriptures diligently." That is very important to search the scriptures and not just read them. I know that I need to improve a lot of things in my life but I also know that "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
