Through atonement, we can be forgiven. Ruby story. How to be a virtuous woman.

We must be examples of believers. Each of us can be good example. Faith and Purity.

Faith. Actively strengthen your own faith. When JS was a young boy, he learned about faith from Lucy Mack Smith. JS followed his mother in her righteous examples.

Satan and his conniving ways tries to pull us away from god. If we don't hold fast, we confuse our children. Your message must be clear, and you have to live with exactness. Your actions are essential to their faith.

Purity through atonement of the saviour. Ratith repentence and baptism. We teach that baptism is agreement to obey god's commandments. We have to give up activities that prevent us from honoring god. Strength of youth can guide youth. There are many blessings to obedience.

Standards of gospel are at odds with standards of the world. We need to be careful with media we invite into our homes. Internet keeps us from interactions with others. We must properly clothe our bodies because they are temples and gifts from god. No revealing or tight clothing.

Story about wedding reception where there was virtue.

Word to the youth: thank you for your righteous example.

Story about Stake Standards Night. She observed the virtue of her aunt. You can be an example of faith and purity. Strengthen your testimony daily. You can start today for others to follow. Testimony of plan of happiness... May we each start today.
