Elder Packer's Object Lesson, "Presentation of the Cake"

As we studied together during the past two months, always in our hearts was the desire to become better, more powerful, more capable gospel teachers. We understand that the Holy Ghost is the true teacher and that in order to be effective, we must always have the Holy Ghost to accompany us. But we also know and understand that we must do all that we can to be prepared and knowledgeable so that we can present the Gospel in a pleasing manner. We studied together and learned the importance of our successful presentation of the Gospel. Like this cake, the Gospel is always sweet and inviting. We must use our talents and abilities to present it in a pleasing way.
