“In my experience, priesthood power, particularly that with which I have been endowed in the house of the Lord, amplifies the companionship of the Holy Ghost and my understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. When I access and draw upon priesthood power, I am a more nimble instrument in the hands of God in helping His children return to Him and their heavenly home. Priesthood power increases my capacity.”
