Bishop McMullin reminded the youth and the adults of the power of the Aaronic priesthood, but what it has been used for, how to develop it, how to protect it, and how it is used today. He taught about the baptism of the Savior. To develop our power in the priesthood we must learn and do our duty. He reminded us that the Savior came to do the will of the Father and that that must be our effort as well. We were reminded of the fact that the authority of the priesthood has spread well but not the power of the priesthood. I particularly liked the following quote:
"Quoting George Q. Cannon, President Monson said: “I want to see the power of the Priesthood strengthened. … I want to see this strength and power diffused through the entire body of the Priesthood, reaching from the head down to the least and most humble deacon in the Church. Every man should seek for and enjoy the revelations of God, the light of heaven shining in his soul and giving unto him knowledge concerning his duties, concerning that portion of the work … that devolves upon him in his Priesthood.”12"
