The MTC from scripture

When Dia heard about the KSL article on the MTC, she sent this scripture of what the missionaries do there: Alma 17: 9-17


9And it came to pass that they journeyed many days in the wilderness, and they fasted much and prayed much that the Lord would grant unto them a portion of his Spirit to go with them, and abide with them, that they might be an instrument in the hands of God to bring, if it were possible, their brethren... to the knowledge of the truth, to the knowledge of the baseness of the traditions of their fathers, which were not correct.

10And it came to pass that the Lord did visit them with his Spirit, and said unto them: Be comforted. And they were comforted.

11And the Lord said unto them also: Go forth among thy brethren, and establish my word; yet ye shall be patient in long-suffering and afflictions, that ye may show forth good examples unto them in me, and I will make an instrument of thee in my hands unto the salvation of many souls.

12And it came to pass that the hearts of the sons of Mosiah [and daughter of David], and also those who were with them, took courage to go forth to declare unto them the word of God.

13And it came to pass when they had arrived in the borders of the land that they separated themselves and departed one from another, trusting in the Lord that they should meet again at the close of their harvest; for they supposed that great was the work which they had undertaken.

6Therefore, this was the cause for which the sons of Mosiah [and the daughter of David] had undertaken the work, that perhaps they might bring them unto repentance; that perhaps they might bring them to know of the plan of redemption.

17Therefore they separated themselves one from another, and went forth among them, every man alone, according to the word and power of God which was given unto him.
