"This pot represents my testimony of the power of the Atonement and the cleansing fires of the Spirit that assure us of the truth of this gospel. Fire represents the testimony that we gain as we apply gospel principles and learn for ourselves truths that “cause [our] hearts to burn” (3 Nephi 11:3). Red represents the blood of the Atonement that allows us to make changes as our testimony grows. The blue is the everlastingly pure Spirit and the gift of eternal life we can receive as we live our testimony. It is only through our trials, tribulation, and errors that we can “arise and shine forth.”"
