Young Women Theme

We are daughters of our Heavenly Father, who loves us, and we love Him.
We will "stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things,
and in all places" (
Mosiah 18:9) as we strive to live
the Young Women values, which are:
Faith
Divine Nature
Individual Worth
Knowledge
Choice and Accountability
Good Works
Integrity and
Virtue.
We believe as we come to accept and act upon these values,
we will be prepared to strengthen home and family, make and keep sacred covenants,
receive the ordinances of the temple, and enjoy the blessings of exaltation.

A Good Story on being a Good Missionary

I recieved this from a friend:


Subject: Mormon Missionary


Several years ago, a newly called Mormon Missionary accepted a
call to serve in Houston , Texas . Some weeks after he arrived, he and
his companion had occasion to ride the bus from their apartment to the
downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally
given him a quarter too much change.. As he considered what to do, he thought to
himself, 'You'd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it.'

Then he thought, 'Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about
this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will
never miss it. Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep quiet.'

When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, and
then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, 'Here, you gave me too much
change ..' The driver, with a smile, replied, 'Aren't you the new
missionaries at the Mormon Church in town?' 'Yes' he replied.

'Well, I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere
to worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much
change. I'll see you at church on Sunday.' When the missionary
stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held
on, and said, 'Oh Heavenly Father, I almost sold your Son for a quarter.'

Our lives are the only scripture some people will ever read.
This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Mormons,

and will put us to the test! Always be on guard -- and remember -- You carry the name
of Christ on your shoulders when you are baptized and take the Sacrament.


Watch your thoughts ; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
