- As I contemplate all that you face in the world today, one word comes to my mind. It describes an attribute needed by all of us but one which you – at this time of your life and in this world – will need particularly. That attribute is courage.
- courage to refrain from judging others
- courage to be chaste and virtuous
- courage to stand firm for truth and righteousness

Unless the roots of your testimony are firmly planted, it will be difficult for you to withstand the ridicule of those who challenge your faith.
