9/2

• The first thing i thought of as i started to read the Doctrines and Principals was how great of an opportunity this is. It says we have the duty and "Privilege" to share the restored gospel. Some may think of a mission as a trial, a period of 2 years where we need to leave everything we've ever known and pay for it. But all in all, this is a wonderful opportunity to go out and share with the world what we know to be true, we have the opportunity to share things with people that could change many lives not just during our mission, but in the lives of people to come years from then.
• "The field is white already to harvest" The people are ready to learn, and when its our time to go, we need to go serve, we need to go thrust in our sickle with all our might. Go out for our entire 2 years, and work hard every single day. There are people ready to learn, and we are the ones responsible for bringing them unto christ.
• Something that stood out to me was D&C 133:37-39 That we will preach the gospel to every nation kindred and tongue. I just think that is neat that we are able to spread the word to every single people among this earth. It also says it will come forth saying with a loud voice. To me that kind of means, there are so many missionaries out there with numbers growing every day, i envision a big army. The more people you have the louder your army would be, and that's what i see, a large army going forth with a loud voice preaching the sacred word of god
