(One time when I taught the importance of nourishing a testimony, I brought a fan palm that I hadn't been watering into Relief Society and left it in the hallway. At the appropriate time, I brought in the sickly plant and we discussed what the owner (me) could do to take better care of her plant in the future, and applied it to nourishing the seed.)
