"My dear brothers and sisters, with all my heart I pray that each of us will take great care to nourish those we teach and those we lead by fortifying them with the bread of life and the living water found within the restored gospel.
"Elder Jeffrey R. Holland has taught: 'Most people don't come to church merely looking for a few new gospel facts or to see old friends, though all of that is important. They come seeking a spiritual experience. They want peace. They want their faith fortified and their hope renewed. They want, in short, to be nourished by the good word of God, to be strengthened by the powers of heaven. ...'
"The Savior and his servants have not only taught us the importance of helping others be 'nourished by the good word of God,' they have also provided inspired direction concerning how teaching and leading can best be accomplished. Section 50 of the Doctrine and Covenants is one of many references that provide such valuable counsel.
"President Gordon B. Hinckley said: 'We must ... get our teachers to speak out of their hearts (and not) their books, to communicate their love for the Lord and this precious work, and somehow it will catch fire in the hearts of those they teach."'
