- The restoration of the priesthood emphasizes personal action and God's empowerment.
- Just as Joseph Smith learned from mistakes, we should actively participate in building the kingdom.

- The Aaronic Priesthood's restoration has a greater purpose: saving families.
- We should build temples, preach the gospel, and complete temple ordinances for all.
