MESSAGE FROM THE FIRST PRESIDENCY |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You live in a day of great challenges and opportunities. You have
been called to make a difference in the world. As a son of God, with
the power of the Aaronic Priesthood, you can be a wonderful force for good. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can provide service, giving of your time, talents, and energies without
thought of reward. You can lift others by your example. You can
strengthen yourself, building faith and testimony, living the gospel while
you learn it and share it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You have a responsibility to learn what Heavenly Father wants you to do and
then to do your best to follow His will. This guidebook, along with
For the Strength of Youth, will help you learn and do your duty to
God. We hope you will earn the Duty to God Award and that it will
become a symbol of your preparation to receive the Melchizedek Priesthood. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Lord believes in you and has an important mission for you to do.
He will help you as you turn to Him in prayer. Listen for the
promptings of the Spirit. Obey the commandments. Make and keep
covenants that will prepare you for the temple. Work with your
parents and leaders as you set goals and strive to achieve them. You
will feel a great sense of accomplishment as you fulfill your duty and
prepare for the exciting challenges of the future. |
