The wonder and awe of Christmas is just a beginning. Christmas reminds us that the babe born in Bethlehem has given us purpose for living, and what happens next to us largely depends on how we embrace our Savior, Jesus Christ, and follow Him.

How we speak to our children and the words we use can encourage and uplift them and strengthen their faith.

We are daughters of our Heavenly Father. We are covenant-making women of all ages walking the path of mortality back to His presence. Keeping covenants protects us, prepares us, and empowers us.

We begin to make the plan known to our children when we hold tight to the iron rod ourselves.

Looking forward with an eternal perspective gives one hope, a reason to look up and feel gratitude for even the smallest bit of light.

Laugh about the past and dream about the future.

Answers to our sincere questions come when we earnestly seek and when we live the commandments.

Our faith can reach beyond the limits of current reason.

As individuals we are strong. Together, with God, we are unstoppable.

The world will teach our children if we do not, and children are capable of learning all the world will teach them at a very young age.

Everyone within the sound of my voice has the power to increase a child’s confidence in himself or herself and to increase a child’s faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ through the words they speak.

Scouting contributes to a boy's preparation to hold the priesthood of God. Scout leaders have a sacred responsibility. They help boys learn Scouting principles that also help them live the gospel. We thank each leader as they foster faith in Christ and prepare boys to make temple covenants and become a missionary, husband, and father.
