“Focus on individuals and how to strengthen them in the gospel, remembering to always keep confidential information safely guarded. . . . A leader who is careless about keeping confidential matters strictly confidential can weaken the testimonies and faith of those he or she serves and diminish their trust and confidence in him or her” (Priesthood and Auxiliary Leaders’ Guidebook, 21).

You show respect and friendship to class members by keeping confidences. “To have good friends, be a good friend yourself” (For the Strength of Youth, 12).
