Brothers,

A few questions to ponder....

What are the key doctrines the YM need to learn right now?  I'm thinking, start with the Purposes of the Aaronic Priesthood and ponder from there...but that is my method, it doesn't have to be yours.

How do we keep the Exodus alive in the hearts of the young men?  We began a journey, we touched the temple, the journey continues...how do we "remember" and bring it forward in our youth's lives?  

How does Duty of God not get lost or forgotten?  How do we strengthen Father/son relationships?   How do we ensure DTG and Scouting are complimenting and supporting the key doctrines which our YM need to learn?

What activities or patterns support the teaching and establishment of the key doctrines above?

How do we bring the missionary spirit into our young men and the stake?  How can we bring the power of the return missionaries into the Aaronic Priesthood quorums?  How can we build a missionary spirit that begins in the home, is strengthened in the quorums, and becomes a reflection of our faith?  There is a pattern provided to us by the Lord...Learn, Act, Share.  I'm finding it's not a command so much as a truth.  When you read the Book of Mormon and act on the promptings you feel and think, you become converted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ; and when you become converted you desire for all of God's children to feel what you feel.  Just a thought. 

Feel free to post you impressions.  This is a private blog just for the YM advisers in the stake, so don't be shy.
