More Holiness Experiment

Yesterday Elder Russell M Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles came and spoke at BYU-Idaho. It was a wonderful devotional on knowledge and wisdom. Then, that night his wife spoke to all the women faculty and the wives' of BYU- I faculty. It was a nice evening. A few of us went to dinner and then we were spiritually feed by Sister Nelson. She talked about being a more holy woman. She told of the "Seek to be More Holy Experiment"...If we can just pick one thing in our life and try to do it more holy for 3 days (It can even be something different each day) what a strength it will be in our homes and lives. I am ready to try this and hope to use it everyday. She quoted Elder Henry B. Eyring who said, (October 1999 Ensign)
"Time has taught me. As the forces around us increase in intensity, whatever spiritual strength was once sufficient will not be enough. And whatever growth in spiritual strength we once thought was possible, greater growth will be made available to us. Both the need for spiritual strength and the opportunity to acquire it will increase at rates which we underestimate at our peril." It made me feel the importance of strengthening my testimony and my families for the many forces we face in life. I just wanted to share my feelings. If you try this experiment, let me know how it goes for you :)
