David A. Bednar
Understanding who we are, where we came from, and why we are upon the earth places upon each of us a great responsibility both to learn how to learn and to learn to love learning.
David A. Bednar
Priesthood is the means whereby the Lord acts through men to save souls. One of the defining features of the Church of Jesus Christ, both anciently and today, is His authority. There can be no true Church without divine authority.

Ordinary people who faithfully, diligently, and consistently do simple things that are right before God will bring forth extraordinary results.
David A. Bednar
Asking in faith requires honesty, effort, commitment, and persistence.

Christ lives and will cleanse, heal, guide, protect and strengthen us.
David A. Bednar
The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live.
David A. Bednar
A grateful person is rich in contentment. An ungrateful person suffers in the poverty of endless discontentment.
David A. Bednar
As we gain experience with the Holy Ghost, we learn that the intensity with which we feel the Spirit's influence is not always the same.
David A. Bednar
Inspired questions will bring about inspired answers. Seek for the companionship of the Holy Ghost as you prepare.

Conversion is an offering of self, of love, and of loyalty we give to God in gratitude for the gift of testimony.
