Young Women

2010 Young Women's Theme
"Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest" (Joshua 1:9; italics added).

The purpose of the Young Women organization is to help each young woman, ages 12 to 18, "come unto Christ" (Moroni 10:32).

By following the Savior's example and teachings, she can:

• Solidify her testimony of Jesus Christ and the restored gospel.

• Fulfill her mortal mission.

• Return to live with her Heavenly Father.

  (See "Young Women," section 4 of the Church Handbook of Instructions, Book 2: Priesthood and Auxiliary Leaders [1998], 211.)

"Our desire is to help young women be worthy and pure and to prepare every young woman to receive the blessings and ordinances of the temple. We will work tirelessly with your daughters, with you, and with priesthood and Young Women leaders to protect and strengthen and prepare our precious young women to be virtuous and pure and live the standards that will help them be free and happy and allow them to reach their divine potential. We know that we are all elect daughters of God. We also know that each one of us has a great work to perform." —Elaine S. Dalton, Young Women general president

Your Happily Ever After

This movie clip is something I put together after I heard a talk by Pres Uchtdorf at the April 2010 General YW Conference. I also used a little part of a talk by Pres Eyring from the April 2008 Conference. I felt it was a message many young women could enjoy and learn from. The parts from the talks that are in the DVD are in red. (CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO)
