Alma 26:22

22. He that repenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth continually without ceasing-- unto such it is given to know the mysteries of God; yea, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never hath been revealed; yea, and it shall be given unto such to bring thousands of souls to repentance, even as it has been given unto us to bring these our bretheren to repentance.

This sounds so poetic as I was reading through it the first time I thought this doesn't sound so hard, this should be easy... Then I read it again and again, to do this it takes hard work and dedication.

So here is a list of to do's to be able to accomplish the end goal of bringing thousands of souls to repentance.

1. repent
2. exercise faith
3. do good works
4. pray continually

Is it doable to a human who is not close to being perfect? I think so. I look at it as a challenge everyday trying to become a little better, change the small things. Start with #1 and work them individually and then build upon each other.
Then why would we want to bring souls to repentance? I believe it is the ultimate service we can do for anyone. Bringing them to the light as they say, or teaching them the gospel or even introducing them to the gospel. Nothing will bring us more happiness in this like then to serve others.
