Elder Yamashita told a story about a missionary who had prosthetic leg. What happened to this missionary and what did it teach Elder Yamashita about ambition?
The missionary ultimately had to be reassigned to a mission where he did not have to ride a bike. The missionary said when he was called to Japan that he knew he would need to ride a bike despite putting on his mission papers that he could not physically ride one. After getting his call, he trained to be able to ride a bike. Thus, he was "ambitious for Christ".

Sister Reeves told about two different missionaries she knew who confessed serious transgressions but at different points in their mission. What did she say was the main difference between these two missionaries and what can we learn from this story?
One missionary confessed an unresolved transgression from before his mission almost immediately upon arriving in the mission. He was able to get through the repentance process and serve honorably. Another missionary kept her transgression to herself almost her entire mission and thought she could make up for it by working "extra hard". The second missionary lacked the kind of godly sorry necessary for full repentance.
