Two inspired scriptures came to President Clark's mind in our departure meeting for these missionaries. The missionaries have a collective goodness amongst themselves. Just as the tune-ups help us do better, these scriptures were meant for this group to better themselves.
Alma 37:6 - "Small and Simple Things"
Mormon 1:2 - "Quick to Observe"
This can benefit or have the opposite affect with missionaries.
