“Teach ye diligently and my grace shall attend you . . . of things both in heaven and in the earth, and under the earth . . . things which are abroad . . . and a knowledge also of countries and of kingdoms—that ye may be prepared in all things when I shall send you again to magnify the calling whereunto I have called you, and the mission with which I have commissioned you.” (D&C 88:78–80)
