PRESIDENT FELT SHARED THIS SCRIPTURE WITH US:
D&C 124:49
  49 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that when I give a commandment to any of the sons of men to do a work unto my name, (PAUSE FOR A MOMENT AND THINK, THIS CAN REFER TO A MISSION) and those sons of men go with all their might and with all they have to perform that work, and cease not their adiligence,(JACOB EVEN AFTER THE INITIAL IMPACT PUSHED FORWARD DOING ALL THAT HE COULD) and their enemies(PAUSE AGAIN-WHO OR WHAT ARE ENEMIES) come upon them and bhinder them from performing that work, behold, it behooveth me to crequire that work no more at the hands of those sons of men, but to accept of their offerings.(PRESIDENT FELT STATED JACOB HAS COMPLETED A SUCCESSFUL MISSION THAT HE HAS DONE ALL THAT WAS REQUIRED OF HIM)
  53 And this I make an aexample unto you, for your consolation concerning all those who have been commanded to do a work and have been hindered by the hands of their enemies, and by boppression, saith the Lord your God.
