Studying the Scriptures
Do two of the following activities (A–C) as you study Alma 29.
Give Some Counsel
Using what you learn in Alma 29, write a letter of counsel that could be given to a young man on his way to the mission field. Include at least two ideas from Alma 29 about the attitudes of a great missionary.
Notice an Important Word
The word remember appears several times in Alma 29:10–13. You may want to highlight it each time it occurs.
-
1.
What did Alma remember? Why did he remember those things?
-
2.
What do you remember when you desire to increase your feelings of spirituality?
Define a Word
According to Alma 29:13–17, how would Alma define success in being one of the Lord’s servants—such as a missionary? (See Alma 8:15 for what the angel told Alma earlier in his life that would give him reason to rejoice even in his seeming unsuccessful efforts.)
