President M. Russell Ballard, Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, spoke for devotional on Tuesday. The whole session was a Q&A, so any missionary from the lot of us could have asked any question. The first question was a boomer. Here it is: "As part of LDS doctrine, we believe that those who did not receive the gospel in this life will have a chance to do so in the next. Why then is there such emphasis for missionary work now?" This was the essence of his answer: It is easier to repent in this life while we have ample opportunity to choose Christ over sin. His answer reminded me of a saying I once heard: The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the second-best time is now.

Starší Slovník (Elder Dictionary) earned his nickname by learning such arbitrary words as zelezobetónový (meaning "reinforced concrete"). He may never use that word, ever.
