Calling the meeting a "second opportunity to discover how to use the handbook more effectively," President Eyring encouraged leaders to increase their capacity to receive revelation.
"Only by the Spirit will you know how to apply what you read in the handbook," he said. "… It may seem to you impractical to expect or even hope for the stream of revelation you need in your daily service. It will not come without faith and hard work, but it is possible."
President Eyring promised that as leaders work and pray to "understand and follow the words of life" given to them, the Lord will help them give service and leadership beyond their own powers.
