“If you want to nourish a tree, you don’t splash water on
the branches. You water the roots. Similarly, if you want the branches of your
testimony to grow and bear fruit, nourish the roots. If you’re uncertain about
a particular doctrine, seek clarity with faith in Jesus Christ. Seek to
understand His sacrifice for you, His love for you, His will for you. Follow
Him in humility. The branches of your testimony will draw strength from your
deepening faith in Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son. For example, if you
want a stronger testimony of the Book of Mormon, focus on its witness of Jesus
Christ. Notice how the Book of Mormon testifies of Him, and how it invites and
inspires you to come unto Him. If you’re seeking a more meaningful experience
in Church meetings or in the temple, try looking for the Savior in the sacred
ordinances we receive there. Find the Lord in His holy house.” – Elder Dieter
F. Uchtdorf
