How elders and priests administer the sacramental bread is explained. About A.D. 401–21.

1 The ^amanner of their ^belders and priests administering the flesh and blood of Christ unto the church; and they administered it ^caccording to the commandments of Christ; wherefore we know the manner to be true; and the elder or priest did minister it—This is a pretty 'literal' expression of the sacrament. He didn't just call it "the sacrament" or the "bread and water". He called it the flesh and blood of Christ. Always remember it is a commandment of Christ that we partake in this manner. This also could help if we are struggling to feel a sense of reverence about the Sacrament Meeting as a whole. We are there to receive and ordinance; to renew a covenant; and make a new covenant to honor the sacrifice of the Lamb of God, much like a funeral. We have the body of the person we honor before us, covered in a casket. The emblems of Christ's body are under a white cloth; We speak and think only of the person in words of gratitude and honor for the life they lived. We should speak the same way of Christ at this meeting. No time for talk of football or Saturday activities...just speak of Christ. When we go to a funeral, we have pondered the life of that person and are prepared to share with the family how they have touched our lives. We should do the same each Sunday. There is no mention of deacons. In our day the deacons pass the sacrament, but it's still the priests (and elders if there are no priests) that "administer" (bless) it. The teachers prepare it (no mention of teachers either)
  2 And they did kneel down with the ^achurch, and pray to the Father in the name of Christ, saying: I think it would be awesome if we knelt with the priests when they say the prayers. I know the Catholic church has "kneeling benches" in each pew for such a thing. I suppose I can always kneel in spirit and reverence, just the same.

3 Nephi 20:8 And he said unto them: He that eateth this bread eateth of my body to his soul; and he that drinketh of this wine drinketh of my blood to his soul; and his soul shall never hunger nor thirst, but shall be filled. this is the promise. We shall never hunger or thirst (bread/water imagery) but shall be filled (with the Holy Ghost, who teaches, testifies, comforts, warns, protects, guides) and eventually leads us to the Son and the Father who promise to "abide in us", like the bread and water are now, literally going into our body and becoming a part of us.

willing to take upon them the ^dname of thy Son, and we voluntarily take the name of Jesus Christ upon us. When we are baptized, it is also a testimony of what we are willing to do. This ordinance renews that covenant the same as if we went down in to the water again. To take a "name" upon us (which some say, we get a new name when we are born into the world, born into the Church of Jesus Christ (Baptism) and born into the Church of the Firstborn (temple). Our "name" identifies us to others and we are "known" by that name. If it is a "family" name, it carries and identity, beliefs, traditions and expectations. Just had a thought... some talk about the Church of the Firstborn as if it is something coming that they have to make sure they are a part of. What if we are initiated into that church when we go through the temple. That is where we are baptized into the Church of the Firstborn - we are pronounced clean again and given a new name. I like that... Another possibility is that we are witnessing that we are willing to take upon us the name of Christ at some future time when we are baptized by the Holy Spirit and then, become His sons and daughters because we have taken His name upon us...
always remember him, and We do this through prayer, pondering, scriptures study, service and the way we carry His name. We take the "identity" of Christ upon us and try to do and say and feel and see as He would. It is not just something we "say". It is something we "are. We are witnessing still that we are "willing" to do these things.
keep his commandments which he hath given them, that they This is how we show God that we are remembering Him. If we remember Him, but don't keep His commandments, we are rebelling. From the point in these scriptures where it says we take upon us the name of Christ...all the “He/His” that follow are about Christ. So Jesus is the one who gave us the commandments. 
may always have his ^eSpirit to be with them. “His” Spirit...should mean the Spirit of Jesus Christ...not the Holy Spirit (although we received the Holy Ghost after baptism and we can always have that Spirit to be with us). Is “His” Spirit the light of Christ “Spirit” of Jesus? Or is the Holy Ghost somehow “His” Spirit to give us? We know Jesus says “My Spirit shall not always strive with man” and “man” all have the Light of Christ; and we know that man can sin to a point where they lose even that (Light of Christ/conscience). Perhaps when we have truly approached the Father with a broken heart/contrite spirit, and have cried mightily in prayer for forgiveness of sins...then we receive the Holy Ghost, and always have His Spirit to be with us. Amen. If we rebel, we lose the Spirit. Repent and He returns.
