Monday

  • Scripture: Alma 17:1–17
  • Chart: Missionary Work
  • Quote: “Why did the trials of these sons of Mosiah strengthen their faith and commitment rather than cause them to murmur or doubt? The key is that ‘they had waxed strong in the knowledge of the truth; for they were men of a sound understanding and they had searched the scriptures diligently, that they might know the word of God.’ We will all face trials and have questions, but remember that we must be ‘continually holding fast to the rod of iron.’ ‘The words of Christ will tell [us] all things what [we] should do.’ We must make scripture study a daily part of our lives, as this will open doors of revelation.”
    Martino, James B. “Turn to Him and Answers Will Come.” General Conference October 2015.
  • Quote: “…When we feel love for God’s children, we are given opportunities to help them in their journey back to His presence.
    “The missionary experiences of the sons of Mosiah … help us understand how to become instruments in God’s hands. ‘And it came to pass that they journeyed many days in the wilderness’ (Alma 17:9). We must be willing to journey. The sons of Mosiah were willing to step outside their surroundings and do that which was uncomfortable. … God has asked us to journey, go on missions, accept callings, invite someone to church, or help someone in need.”
    Clarke, Don R. “Becoming Instruments in the Hands of God.” General Conference October 2006.

  • Scripture: Alma 18:1–43
  • Quote: “In a similar way, the Lord will help his modern-day servants perceive the thoughts or feelings of those they are teaching. This perception may not be as dramatic as in the case with king Lamoni, but the Lord ‘knows all the thoughts and intents of the heart’ (Alma 18:32). I remember many times as a young missionary when the Lord would help me perceive the lack of understanding, the questioning, or the rejection of our teachings on the part of those we were instructing. They did not have to say anything—we could discern it by the Spirit. The spirit of discernment can enable one to be a more effective teacher and servant of the Lord. Such was the case with Ammon”
    Williams, Clyde J. “Instruments in the Hands of God.” Essay. In The Book of Mormon: Alma, the Testimony of the Word, edited by Monte S. Nyman and Charles D. Tate, 98. Salt Lake City, UT: Greg Kofford Books, 1991.
  • Quote: “Consider the experience of King Lamoni. Though he had unfettered power, great earthly treasures, and servants to wait on him hand and foot, he lived in spiritual darkness. When he was willing to permit Ammon to teach him the gospel, a most remarkable thing occurred: Lamoni ‘fell unto the earth, as if he were dead’ ‘Ammon knew that king Lamoni was under the power of God; he knew that the dark veil of unbelief was being cast away from his mind, and the light which did light up his mind, … was the light of the glory of God, … yea, this light had infused such joy into his soul’
    “Only the glory of God and the light of life everlasting produce a joy profound enough to overwhelm one completely and to eliminate ‘the dark veil of unbelief.’”
    Jensen, Virginia U. “Lead, Kindly Light.” General Conference October 2000.

  • Scripture: Alma 20:1–30
  • Quote: “It is significant that it was not Ammon’s strength or his ability to speak which had the greatest effect upon Lamoni’s father. Rather, it was the great love Ammon showed for Lamoni, even being willing to defend him from physical harm, which so deeply affected Lamoni’s father. ... Love has the effect of opening the hearts of individuals. In the Lord’s instructions through the prophet Joseph Smith, we are taught that love is among those characteristics which qualify one for the work of teaching the gospel (see D&C 4:5). The more we allow love to permeate our service to the Lord the more successful our efforts will be”
    Williams, Clyde J. “Instruments in the Hands of God.” Essay. In The Book of Mormon: Alma, the Testimony of the Word, edited by Monte S. Nyman and Charles D. Tate, 101. Salt Lake City, UT: Greg Kofford Books, 1991.

  • Scripture: Alma 22:1–26
  • Quote: “When you touch the hearts of people you serve, you won’t do everything exactly the way Aaron did. But you will do some of the same things. You will try to help them feel that God loves them by the way you treat them. You will be humble so that they are more likely to choose to be meek and lowly of heart. You will teach the word of God, when the Spirit prompts you, in a way that testifies of God’s love for them and their need for the atonement of Jesus Christ. And you will teach them commandments they can keep. That is why, when you go into the mission field, you learn to commit those you teach to pray or to read the Book of Mormon or to come with you to a sacrament meeting or to be baptized. You know that when they keep commandments they plant the seed. And you know that it will grow, their souls will be expanded, and that when that happens their faith will increase.”
    Eyring, Henry B. “To Touch a Life with Faith.” General Conference October 1995.
  • Quote: “Now I want you, my brethren, to hear again this humble man’s words: 'I will give away all my sins to know thee.' Brethren, each of us must surrender our sins if we are to really know Christ. For we do not know Him until we become like Him. There are some, like this king, who must pray until they, too, have 'a wicked spirit rooted' from them so they can find the same joy. Attaining a righteous and virtuous life is within the capability of any one of us if we will earnestly seek for it. If we do not have these character traits, the Lord has told us that we should ‘ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.’”
    Benson, Ezra Taft. “What Manner of Men Ought We to Be?” General Conference October 1983.
