Zion is known as "the pure in heart", meaning, one mind, one heart. That is the goal Heavenly Father has for all of us, to be of one mind and one heart. I think it's always going to be a continuous process. I think in order for it to truly work, I, along with everyone else, need to make sure that I am always trying to be of one heart and one mind with Heavenly Father. Because really, I only have control over myself. I'm not able to make someone else follow the teachings. I can try to influence them and be an example, but I really can't make them choose to follow Christ.
Heavenly Father wants us to reach out to others who don't understand all that we have learned being members of the church. Teaching the gospel to others is the only way we can really help in getting people to want to be of one heart and one mind. We all need to have the common knowledge of Christ, and want to follow him. That's why missionary work is so important. Reading a talk about the importance of Zion by Elder Christofferson made me want to reach out to those around me more. To be a better missionary, and to help build up Zion.
