Personal Worthiness part 2

• Personal worthiness allows prospective misssionaries to obtain temple blessings
• D&C 109:22-23 : servants will go forth from his house with his power. This is just amazing to me. Just like a general in an army we are going out in to this "field" of work. Yet we have the upper hand on any missionary from another church. We are being sent out with "his" power. The power of the all knowing and all powerful lord. That personally gives me confidence, that if im ready, i can all preach his gospel, with his spirit and help
• D&C 110:7-9 : Not very many people on this earth have been given the opportunity to see Christ. This scripture says that if we in fact keep the commandments he will "appear unto his servants." There is not much to treasure up, except great appreciation. Its so unreal, all we need to do is keep some simple commandments, and we will be able to see and be with Christ. It's a good "motivation" to keep the commandments, knowing you'll be around and see Christ.
• Repentance is a cleansing process that allows us to become worthy.
  
• Isaiah 1:18 : This scripture to me is all about repentance. Repentance is such an amazing thing. To know 100% that Christ has endured anything and everything we have endured. Every single emotional and physical pain, he has felt. And no matter our sins, with time we can become "as white as snow." This makes me appreciate what the lord has done for us even more. Not only has he experience everything we have, he is willing to forgive us, and that means a lot to me
• Mosiah 26:29 - Since we are treasuring up, i went a little before this scripture to verse 28. I happened to have it high lighted so i read it. It kinda made me realize even more then before how much people need missionaries. The scripture summed up says those who dont hear my voice they wont receive my church, and wont be received at the last day. It is our divine responsibility to teach these people, so they can come unto christ. Without us, they are lost souls, and who else will bring them the gospel? If they don't hear the word, they cant be received at the last day, and that could be our fault.
