Using time wisely to bring people to Christ_ Ch12

D&C 109:8 " Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing, and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God"

Priorities determine "what we seek in life" says elder Dallin H. Oaks. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:33 that we must seek first to build up his Kingdom. In Joseph Smith Translation Matt 6:38, the Lord promises that by establishing his righteousness the rest will be added unto us. Also, it is interesting to ponder upon the quote from Ensign May 2001: "our priorities are most visible in how we use our time... with time, we have only one opportunity for choice, an then it is gone forever."
It is important to plan each day and to set goals in companionship in order to be successful in missionary work. In doing so, missionaries will succeed better in finding investigators, teaching them, helping them progress, baptizing them.
