As you continue to keep the commandments, you shall continue to have many harvests. And Heavenly Father is pleased because you have shown your love by keeping His commandments. Your bishop is happy because you qualify for a recommend, if you are a baptized member of the Church, to go to a temple dedication. What is your harvest? Your friends and family members have noticed your good example and want to come to church with you. You have worked hard to choose the right. Like the farmer who has worked in the field or the missionary who has served a full-time mission, you can see the fruits of your labor. You are exemplary, a wonderful example to others who watch you and who want to learn about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You prepare to go to the temple and to serve a mission when you keep the commandments. The Savior taught, “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me” ( John 14:21). You also show that you love Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. You show your willingness to obey the prophet’s counsel. When you try to live a better life and keep the commandments, a number of things happen. If you do that you live better, you try to make your lives more exemplary because you know that those you teach will not believe unless you back up what you say by the goodness of your lives.” * He said, “I wish I could awaken in the heart of every man, woman, boy, and girl … the great consuming desire to share the gospel with others. Hinckley has asked all Church members to help with missionary work.
Missionaries work hard so that they can find and teach as many of these people as possible. His harvest is humble people who have been searching for answers to their questions about life and death and who are ready to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Lord has said that “the field is white already to harvest” ( D&C 4:4). Farmers and gardeners work hard so that everything can be gathered and nothing is lost. Green vegetables, juicy fruits, and healthy grains, which have been growing for months in good soil and sunlight, are ripe and ready for harvesting. In some parts of the world, it is harvesttime now. Every year, there is at least one harvesttime.
