CONCLUSION:

Present to the young women the same challenge that the bishop in the story did to the young people in his ward. Ask them to try for one week to be peacemakers in their homes. Tell them you will let them share some of their experiences next week if they wish.

HANDOUT:

Print off the handout for each young woman on a tan or light brown paper. Glue the handout onto a piece of sandpaper that is just bigger than the handout. It will make a cute border around it.
