Using time wisely to bring people to Christ
Principle 1: Finding people to teach is a responsibility for missionaries and Church members.
D &C 123: 12
There are many people who never had the opportunity to hear about the gospel. They live in darkness, without the knowledge of the gospel, without the guidelines of the Holy Ghost. It is not because they do not believe the gospel, but because they did not even hear. I am from the mainland China where the church is not strong. Before I came to America, I was like anybody else in China, did not have any knowledge of the gospel.

D&C 123:13
Missionaries' responsibility is looking for people to teach. There are lots of people in the world ready to hear the gospel. They are ready to hear and accept, being baptized. Missionaries should seek those people, share gospel with everybody you meet. Pray for the spirit, the spirit will help missionaries find those who will eventually be baptized and stay active and faithful. Always work hard, have the spirit to be with us.

Principle 2: Effective planning, goal setting, and time management help focus missionary efforts and increase success.

D&C 109:8
Making plans helps missionaries manage their time effectively and wisely. We should organize our time, do not waste any, use them all wisely in serving the Lord. We should go to bed early, arise early in the morning to make plans for the day, to study and ponder scriptures, to pray for the spirit. Our brain factions more effective in the morning time than at night. We should also set goals, and try to accomplish all those goals.
