LESSON:

CONCLUSION:

President Kimball assured us that we can hold to the gospel in times of danger: “The Lord holds forth a glorious promise to those who love him and demonstrate this love by faithful, devoted service and the living of his eternal principles. When the winds of change blow fiercely and the waves sweep over us, we have a tree or rod of principle to which we can cling for safety. It is the gospel of Jesus Christ which has been restored to the earth in its fulness” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1978, p. 7; or Ensign, Nov. 1978, p. 6). Suggest that the young women record in their journals their commitment to hold fast to the Lord’s standard of moral worthiness.

HANDOUT:

Copy the handout on a pretty parchment paper. Cut into two handouts and roll and tie with strong string.
