When teaching the gospel we must do as Ammon did and start from the very basics and then go up.
Joseph Smith said,
"When you climb up a ladder, you must begin at the bottom, and ascend step by step, until you arrive at the top; and so it is with the principles of the Gospel you must begin with the first, and go on until you learn all the principles of exaltation" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 348).
-The Lords power overcomes the king and his servants and God is able to teach them and open their eyes to the gospel. Wouldn't that be awesome to have had that happen to your investigators on your mission? I think God worked in similar ways with our investigators but it always seemed with some to take a long time to come to better understand God and what He wanted for them.
-We must all work through the gospel and learn as Joseph Smith said like a ladder learning one principle at a time and practicing it or taking it into our lives. When we get one step we go to the next one. But I also believe that when we are struggling with one of them we can go back down and gain strength to take the next step. Every step with the Gospel is a step in the right direction and we need to not take it lightly by truly look forward to the progress that can be made and the growth that can be achieved.
