D&C 130:20-21
There has been a law set before the world was, that God will keep His promise if we are obedient to His commandments. The Father will do anything for us if we just keep our part of the deal. I like this a lot because this means no catch or extra thing on our part, just as long as we keep the commandments and are faithful.

Learning Early
Alma 37:35
If we learn early, it is an advantage to us. This accounts for everything whether it be math, science, or keeping the commandments, the faster we take in something or if we learn it early it is for our benefit. So doing as Alma counsels his son, to learn wisdom in his youth, is a wise choice so as to stay on the strait and narrow.

Labor Diligently
D&C 88:84
We as missionaries are to prepare the way for the Lord and for the Judgement Day. By our hard labor we will become perfected. There is no such thing as reaping the reward with little or no work at all. It's by the sweat of my brow that converts people, and it shows the Lord that I dedicated and willing to do his will. By working hard, I will be able to receive the Spirit and as it as my guide among my brethren the Gentiles.

Gathering Them In
D&C 18:15-16
How great will be our joy when we enter the next life and converse and rejoice with those who were brought to the knowledge of the restored Gospel due to our labors. Just doing baptisms for the dead or other ordinances for the dead are ways of helping our spirit brethren and sisters out. Imagine their joy and their gratitude towards those that took part in their work, and that made it possible to have joy.

Are we Good Samiratans?
Luke 10:30-37
I often wonder when I read this story, if I have ever neglected to help someone in anyway that was by the wayside? Have we neglected anyone in need, not just physically, but spiritually as well? Often the businessman or the lawyer will pass by someone in need, and it's usually the meek and lowly in spirit, such as the homeless, helping those who are in need.

Straitness of the Path
2 Ne 31:9-10
I echo the words of Nephi: "Can we follow Jesus?". He has set the path and the way. Now, we must follow and cling close to the gospel so as not to fall off the path into other paths of sin. Jesus is the example and the way. We must strive to be like him and try to live a Christlike life.

For all Eternity
D&C 132:15, 18-19
The law of the new and everlasting covenant is the law of eternal marriage and becoming sealed for all eternity to your spouse and to your family. This is a wonderful covenant because we will not be separated from our loved ones after death. For this covenant deals with the next life and the eternities and us becoming exalted and receiving inheritance from Heavenly Father if we live righteously. What a wonderful covenant indeed that the Father has been so gracious to provide for His children.
