   CONCLUSION:

   Testimony:
   Let the young women know of your feelings and your gratitude for your relationship with those who hold the priesthood. Help them see that each of them can actively bless the lives of priesthood holders. When they do this, they will receive the blessings of the priesthood and have greater abilities to fulfill their own responsibilities.

   MID-WEEK ACTIVITY IDEA:

   Suggested Activity for Youth over Sixteen Years of Age:
   
   Invite the young men to join the young women in a special activity. Put into practice the principles taught in this lesson as you organize and complete the activity. Be sure everyone has an assignment so the activity will be a success. The activity could be one such as the following:
   
   Have a panel discussion on ways in which young women can help young men honor and magnify their priesthood and prepare for missions.
   Have a sunrise walk and breakfast.
   Help the young men prepare for their missions by teaching them to prepare a basic meal.
   Working with priesthood leaders, select a service project to help a member or nonmember in your area.
