What's the most valuable resource on earth?

Think about that question. 
Today we had an amazing meeting of all the missionaries from the area around New Haven, Connecticut.  It was a very spiritual meeting and I learned a ton.  In preparation for these meetings (we call them zone conferences) our mission president gives us different things to read and study to prepare.  One of the main topics we learned about today was studying.  We were given a talk by Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles titled A Reservoir of Living Water .  I highly recommend reading that talk.  Elder Bednar has some very good insights on how to get the most out of our studies.
He starts by asking that question, "what is the most valuable substance or commodity in the world?"  The answer is water.  Elder Bednar shows how this is true both physically and spiritually.  We all need the living water of Jesus Christ to help us survive.  We get this by doing as Elder Bednar says and using all types of study tools.  We have to really work for it if we want to get the living water that is there waiting for us.  The scriptures are full of insights that can solve the problems we are going through now but everything takes time and effort.  One of the missionaries who was giving the training today, Elder Kunz, offered a really good interpretation of the famous verse in Matthew 7:7,  ^aAsk, and it shall be ^bgiven‍ you; ^cseek, and ye shall find; ^dknock, and it shall be opened unto you:
He wrote it      Ask, and it shall be given‍ you; [where to] 
                         Seek, and ye shall find; [where to]
                         Knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
That is a really good way to put it.  I would encourage everyone to read Elder Bednar's talk and apply those principles to their studies of the scriptures.
