 +  * How many are not here (at church) because they are discouraged or feel like they don't belong? ​ Find someone and tell them they can be happy. ​ Carry a message of love, acceptance, and belonging. ​ Find someone who is lonely, scared, hurt, who doesn'​t feel like they belong, and help them.
 +  * He is the Savior of each of us, personally
 +  * Missionary work can be helping people feel welcome
 +  * Heavenly Father sends you where you can do the most good and grow the most.
 +  * In just being a friend, we are living the gospel
 +  * Each person is at a different stage of living the gospel
 +  * You cannot serve two masters - it's strictly not possible, your heart cannot follow two opposite paths. ​ It is more than "​can";​ as a decision the ability is not present.
 +  * I can't coast off the accomplishments of the past.
 +  * Consider your membership in the family as a calling.
 +  * The Book of Mormon (and the scriptures) document miracles that we can all reference
