"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
Time is one of the most precious resources Heavenly Father has given you. The period when you are able to serve the Lord with all your time and all your efforts is extremely short. Use it fully and wisely. Such an opportunity is a privilege.

President Waddoups demonstrated how to teach effectively with the Restoration pamphlet and then had all the missionaries do a role play using the pamphlet.

The Assistants talked about the importance of baptism and repentance.
Doctrine and Covenants 20:37
And again, by way of commandment to the church concerning the manner of baptism—All those who humble themselves before God, and desire to be baptized, and come forth with broken hearts and contrite spirits, and witness before the church that they have truly repented of all their sins, and are willing to take upon them the name of Jesus Christ, having a determination to serve him to the end, and truly manifest by their works that they have received of the Spirit of Christ unto the remission of their sins, shall be received by baptism into his church.

The Zone Leaders talked about using time wisely and related an example by Elder Dallin H. Oaks about fishermen.
"None of us should be like the fisherman who thinks he has been fishing all day when in reality he has spent most of his time getting to and from the water, eating lunch, and fussing with his equipment. Fishing success is related to how long you have your line in the water, not to how long you are away from the apartment. Some fishermen are away from home for twelve hours and have their line in the water only two hours. This last type may wonder why they do not have the same success as others.
The same principle applies to missionaries, whom the Master called 'fishers of men.' A missionary's line should drop into the fishing water the moment he or she leaves the apartment." (Preach My Gospel, pg. 152)
