ATTENTION GETTER:

A NOTE TO THE ADVISOR: You may wish as you begin this next section of lessons to introduce to your young women "Dear to my Heart" Scripture Stickers. Young Women love stickers and especially scripture stickers. The lessons focus on the wonderful scriptures and we should try to make them meaningful to the young women. Scripture Stickers could be a very important part of your lesson as you read and discuss the scriptures with your young women, have them highlight the scripture and put a scripture sticker by it. Have them write in the margin a little bit about it to remind them. You may wish to visit this page for more ideas.

Here are some other "Dear to my Heart" activities.

CONCLUSION:

To emphasize that the scriptures have an important meaning in our lives, read the following quotation:
"Each of us, at some time in our lives, must discover the scriptures for ourselves - and not just discover them once, but rediscover them again and again" (Spencer W. Kimball, "How Rare a Possession - the Scriptures!" Ensign, Sept. 1976, p. 4).

We have also been told by a prophet of God that we must read from the Book of Mormon every day.

President Ezra Taft Benson said, "There is a book we need to study daily, both as individuals and as families, namely the Book of Mormon" (in Conference Report, Apr. 1986, pp. 99-100; or Ensign, May 1986, p. 78).

"We need to read daily from [its] pages [and it] will get [us] 'nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book' (History of the Church, 4:461)" (in Conference Report, Oct. 1988, p. 3; or Ensign, Nov. 1988, p. 4).

HANDOUT:

Give each of your young women some "Dear to my Heart" scripture stickers to put with their scriptures to use at home with their Personal Scripture Study.
