Your home should be a safe harbor, and if it is, we should also bring that feeling out into the world, so we can be who we are all the time—at the same time helping others understand what a safe harbor means and what being yourself all the time looks like. When we do this, we are more likely to always be who we are.
How Can We Gather Israel?
We can be a beacon of light.
We can be aware of new members.
We can be a safe harbor for those seeking the gospel and God.
We can be committed.
We can be an example.
We can be a covenant keeper.
The gathering of Israel is simple, but not always easy.
1 Timothy 4:12
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, inn conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
3 Nephi 18:24
Therefore, hold up you light that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up—that which ye have seen me do. Behold ye see that I have prayed unto the Father, and ye all have witnessed.

Are You Testifying of Christ? How?
Comments
We can be an instrument in God’s hands if we choose to testify of Him. Christ glorified Heavenly Father and as we testify of Christ, we too can glorify Heavenly Father and help others come to know Him.
Charity Lovshin
If we want to be blessed every day, we must put in the work in it. We must think daily of the promises we made to Jesus Christ. We must make sure we are worthy of the Holy Ghost to be guided in the way we live our life to earn the blessings.
We can’t depend on others witness of Christ. We must gain our own witness of Christ. We must look for Christ everywhere, and if we do, we will see the ways we can witness of Him.
As we choose to seek Christ, the Spirit will witness of Him in many different situations. These witnesses of the Spirit occur as we fast, pray, wait, and continue forward. Our closeness to Christ grows through worshipping frequently in the temple, repenting daily, studying scriptures, attending church and seminary, pondering our patriarchal blessings, worthily receiving ordinances, and honoring sacred covenants. All of these invite the Spirit to enlighten our minds, and they bring added peace and protection and true joy.
As we act on His teaching, we gain a testimony of Him; we build a relationship with Him and our Heavenly Father. We begin to become like Them.
