Alma 26
As Ammon marvels and rejoices in he and his brothers great success among the Lamanites, there is much he teaches us.  I would like to touch on just a few thoughts - 
"...this is the blessing which hath been bestowed upon us, that we have been made instruments in the hands of God to bring about this great work."  (Book of Mormon | Alma 26:3)
"...for ye did thrust in the sickle, and did reap with your might, yea, all the day long did ye labor; and behold the number of your sheaves!..."  (Book of Mormon | Alma 26:5)
"...I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy, and I will rejoice in my God.
12 Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things..."  (Book of Mormon | Alma 26:11 - 12)
Obviously to instruments in the hands of God, one must labor much
What I noticed is how they did that - 
"...this because of the power of his word which is in us..."  (Book of Mormon | Alma 26:13)
It is all about teaching and testifying even though we are "nothing".
