PRESIDENCY MESSAGE

Young WomenVirtue Brings the Blessings of Eternity

We invite you to review Sister Elaine S. Dalton's address to young adults from the recent CES fireside, "Zion Is the Pure in Heart". She invites all to be virtuous and worthy to attend the temple. "Be there! Don’t get distracted now! Don’t forget who you are! And don’t allow anything to disqualify you for the blessings that await you in the Lord’s holy temple." Study her message or view a video archive of the broadcast.
