The question for the Aaronic Priesthood lesson, “What has President Monson taught Aaronic Priesthood holders?”, and the associated content is something I have thought about putting together for President Hinckley. The suggestion is to use the last few General Conference addresses by President Monson to the Priesthood Session:
“Come, All Ye Sons of God,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2013
“See Others as They May Become,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2012, 68–71
“Willing and Worthy to Serve,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2012, 66–69
“Dare to Stand Alone,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2011, 60–67
I always enjoy the talk by the Prophet at the Priesthood Session, and think that looking at them over the last 20-30 years you would certainly see patterns and areas of focus that repeat themselves and also demonstrate how to best prepare for the future.
There are two video resources for this lesson. The first is “A Priesthood Duty” and the focus is on missionary work:
The second is called “Dare to Stand Alone” and tells the story of an experience President Monson had at boot camp when he followed the advice of an old Primary song:
Dare to be a Mormon;
Dare to stand alone.
Dare to have a purpose firm;
Dare to make it known.
