  CONCLUSION:

  Explain that we can help to create a positive environment for ourselves, our friends, and our family. Our home can be a tent, a hogan, a cabin, a large brick building, or a palace. Whatever our situation, we should do all we can to overcome unwholesome influences and create an uplifting environment in our surroundings. Lesson Application Suggest that the young women evaluate their own rooms or other areas of the home where they might improve the environment. Suggest that they do what they can to make their own homes pleasant and uplifting places to be.
