"We women have a lot to learn about simplifying our lives. We have to decide what is important and then move along at a pace that is comfortable for us. We have to develop the maturity to stop trying to prove something. We have to learn to be content with what we are." -Marjorie Pay Hinckley
Every young woman needs three things: Friendship. Genuine friendship helps each young woman feel loved and welcome. A responsibility. Church callings and assignments help young women grow spiritually and strengthen their commitment to the Lord and His Church. “Nourish[ing] by the good word of God" (Moroni 6:4). Personal study of the scriptures, as well as teaching in family and Church settings, helps young women increase their understanding and strengthen their testimonies of the gospel.

Young Women leaders work under the authority and direction of priesthood leaders to help families and individuals realize divine expectations (see Richard G. Scott, "The Doctrinal Foundation of the Auxiliaries," 63).
Priesthood leaders give guidance and vision to orient the service of Young Women leaders.
"Brethren and sisters, we must get on our knees and plead with the Lord for help and strength and direction. We must then stand on our feet and move forward" (Gordon B. Hinckley, Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting, Jan. 10, 2004, 20 & 21).
As Young Women and priesthood leaders magnify their callings, they fulfill the trust they are given. LDS Church website www.lds.org
