“Ye Shall Have Joy in the Fruit”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
Remember, the Lord said to the Saints of our day, ’The worth of souls is great in the sight of God.“ And then, in speaking of the spiritual rewards of missionary labors, he continued: ”Wherefore, you are called to cry repentance unto this people. And, if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father! And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!“ (D&C 18:10, 14-16.)”
