Christlike Attributes
Principle 1: Missionaries strive to develop Christlike attributes.

In order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, we should follow Christ and keep all the commandments.
We should have faith in Christ, repent for our sins, be baptized in his name, always follow the commandments. Strive to develop ourselves to be more like him. This is the only way that we can be saved.

3 Nephi 18:24
We should develop Christlike attributes. These attributes including faith,virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, charity, humility, diligence. Faith leads to knowledge and understanding. If we have faith, the Spirit will teach us. Patience gives us joy and happiness, we feel peace.

Principle 2: Missionaries are commanded to serve God with all their "heart, might, mind and strength."
D&C 4:2-5
Missionary work is the work for the Lord. We have to have the desire to serve. We are called to serve only if we have desire to serve. There are many people who are ready to listen to the gospel. Missionaries should spend two years serve diligently with all their heart, might, mind and strength. The Lord promises us that we will be blessed.

D&C 18:15-16
We are blessed with the gospel. We feel joy and happiness from the gospel. Heavenly Father wants us to share our joy and happiness with all his children. We should go preach the gospel to everybody, so that they will be able to feel the same thing, receive the same blessings as we do.
