"Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things. Thou shalt offer a sacrifice unto the Lord thy God in righteousness, even that of a broken heart and a contrite spirit.
D&C 59:7-8
Before you make a decision against a mission, count your blessings, my dear friend. Think of all the great and marvelous things you have—your very life, your health, your parents, your home, the girl you love. Are they not all gifts from a generous Heavenly Father? Out of a spirit of appreciation and gratitude, and a sense of duty, you ought to make whatever adjustment is necessary to give a little of your time, consecrating your strength, your means, your talents to the work of sharing with others the gospel, which is the source of so much of the good that you have."

"Wherefore, do the things which I have told you I have seen that your Lord and your Redeemer should do; for, for this cause have they been shown unto me, that ye might know the gate by which ye should enter:
2 Nephi 31:17
We need to take even greater advantage of the power of [the Book of Mormon]. Its principal authors and its inspired translator gave their lives to make it available to us. We should treat each copy with reverent respect. We should not give it away casually. And we ought not to promote the "speed-reading" of its sacred pages. We should never make reading the Book of Mormon seem like an onerous duty, like the gulping of nasty medicine to be swallowed quickly, and then checked off with finality.
Help the [Saints] to have the thrill of discovering the divine doctrine of Christ. Help them to feel that sweet, faith-promoting spirit that comes when one studies the Book of Mormon, pondering it prayerfully, with a deep desire to be taught by the Lord Himself, If one studies the Book of Mormon, heaven will reveal the truth and deepen one's conversion to the Lord."
