Help Them on Their Way Home
The Personal Progress
booklet for young women makes the purpose clear for them: “The Personal
Progress program uses the eight Young Women values to help you
understand more fully who you are, why you are here on the earth, and
what you should be doing as a daughter of God to prepare for the day you
go to the temple to make sacred covenants.”
It
goes on to say that young women will “make commitments, carry them out,
and report your progress to a parent or leader.” It also promises that
“the patterns you establish as you work on Personal Progress—such as
prayer, scripture study, service, and journal keeping—will become
personal daily habits. These habits will strengthen your testimony and
help you learn and improve throughout your life.”

The example they most need from us is to do what they must do. We need
to pray for the gifts of the Spirit. We need to ponder in the scriptures
and in the words of living prophets. We need to make plans which are
not only wishes but covenants. And then we need to keep our promises to
the Lord. And we need to lift others by sharing with them the blessings
of the Atonement which have come in our lives. (April 2010 General Conference)
