Christ gave inspired counsel to those who were chosen and called of Him to be Seventy's. He first counsels them to pray so that the people they meet will be ready to hear their message. This is a key principle to follow, if the people arent ready the message won't be received. CHrist also counsels his seventy to speak eloquently, to bless the household before entering and treat all with respect and admiration. The seventy are told to heal the sick, and to clean the cities as they work through them. To heal and preach in every city they were in. They were also counseled to call people to repentance.
Our church is built after that of the primitive church. There were missionaries that taught two by two in Jesus' time as there are now. There was a first presidency and a quorum of 12 apostles. Back then the church was led by Jesus Christ as it is today. The organization is set up the same and will not be changed.
The office of the seventy is a sacred calling of apostolic worth and duty, those in the seventy are called to be special witnesses of Jesus Christ and to travel and to preach abroad, just as in days of old.
