Have you ever wondered, as John and Peter Whitmer did, what “would be of the most worth” in your life? (Doctrine and Covenants 15:4; 16:4). As you read Doctrine and Covenants 15–16, ponder why bringing souls to Christ is of such great worth.
"As you study your scriptures during the next six months, I encourage you to make a list of all that the Lord has promised He will do for covenant Israel. I think you will be astounded! Ponder these promises. Talk about them with your family and friends. Then live and watch for these promises to be fulfilled in your own life." (President Russell M. Nelson, Let God Prevail, October 2020 General Conference)
