How do I "Gather Together in One All Things in Christ"?

The following is my notes from studying Elder David A. Bednar talk from the October 2018 General Conference (see Gather Together in One All Things in Christ by Elder David A. Bednar
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, October General Conference, 2018).

"[I] live in a remarkable and revelatory season of the restored Church of Jesus Christ."

When "[President Nelson urged me] to study [the conference] messages", what was his desire? See Becoming Exemplary Latter-day Saints by President Russell M. Nelson, October 2018 General Conference.

I believe it was that my "faith in the Father's plan and in the Savior's redeeming mission might increase ... and that God's everlasting covenant might be established" more fully in my life.

I believe his objective was "facilitate [my] continuing conversion to the Lord and [that I might] love more completely and server more effectively [my] brothers and sisters."

"[The] power of the Savior's gospel to transform and bless [me] flows from discerning and applying the interrelatedness of its doctrine, principles, and practices.  Only as [I] gather together in one all things in Christ, with firm focus upon Him, can gospel truths synergistically enable [me] to become what God desires [me] to become and endure valiantly to the end."

I know that "[in my] Savior [I] find joy.  And in Him [I] find the assurance of 'pease in this world, and eternal life in the world to come.'"
