Jacob 5
61- God calls servants to labor diligently and to prepare the way.
Being a missionary was helping prepare the way for the Second Coming. That is a great work that not everyone is qualified to do.
We need to continue to labor in His vineyard though so that more of the world will be prepared when that time comes.
Christ invites us in vs 62 to, "labor with all our might this last time, for behold the end draweth nigh, and this is for my last time that I shall prune my vineyard."
He's calling those who have been faithful to the end to help prepare the world and labor with Him to finish up the great work.
63:"...the last that they may be first, and the first that they may be last,"
God is not repsector of person.
I use to think that is wasn't fare that those who received the Gospel later or those who fell away and did bad things could come back and just be forgiven when I hadn't committed any major sins. But since my mission I have changed my mindset. I am so thankful for the gospel the way that God, my Father in Heaven planned it and His Son Jesus Christ.

Blessing- That I am able to stay happy and possitive about my job even when I don't particularly like it.

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...
