Becoming More Powerful Priesthood Holders

My thoughts on Elder Gonzalez's talk "Becoming More Powerful Priesthood Holders"

His steps for becoming a more powerful priesthood holder also work for those who want a deeper testimony.

1. Feast upon the word.
There is no better way to know of the truthfulness than to read about it and study it. Not just nibble on Sunday, but to truly feast on the words of the Book of Mormon. We are reading it this year as a family and I truly have missed reading it.

2. Apply what we learn to our lives.
I have read countless book on how to lose weight, but until I get up and do it won't do me a bit of good. Likewise I have read countless book on how to be a better person, but until I put it in action it is just good thoughts and words.

3. Teach
This reminds me of a math curriculum we use. The teacher has the kids learn it, practice it and eventually they are to teach me. It truly is when we teach that we learn it in our hearts and it becomes a part of us.

Great things to remember to becoming more like Christ and for our young men to become more powerful and steady in their commitment to the gospel.
