CHURCH OUTLINE:
“Consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God” (Mosiah 2:41).
Commandments are the laws and requirements that a loving Heavenly Father gives His children to bless them, protect them, and guide them back to Him. When we keep the commandments, we show our love for Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. As we obey the commandments and continually repent, we become more like the Savior and we are blessed with happiness, peace, testimony, and the companionship of the Holy Ghost. Obedience to the commandments helps us fulfill our divine role as daughters of God.

LESSON OBJECTIVE & REFERENCES
“Where once the standards of the Church and the standards of society were mostly compatible, now there is a wide chasm between us, and it’s growing ever wider” (Thomas S. Monson, “Priesthood Power,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2011, 66). The Lord wants us to remain true to His standards and not partake of the evils of the world. At the same time, He expects us to be a good influence on those around us.
– Prepare Yourself Spiritually
1) What are some of society’s standards that are not compatible with the standards of the Church? When have you chosen to stand for what is right? How have your actions affected your life and the lives of others?

LESSON OBJECTIVE & REFERENCES
Virtue is a pattern of thought and behavior based on high moral standards. It includes chastity. We live in a world in which virtue is belittled and attacked. We can guard our virtue by avoiding impure thoughts, language, and actions. Pornography is especially dangerous. As we “put on the whole armour of God” (see Ephesians 6:11–17) and rely on the strength of the Lord, we can protect ourselves against the adversary’s attacks on virtue and keep our thoughts and actions pure.
– Prepare Yourself Spiritually
1) Consider how living a virtuous life brings peace to you. What effects does pornography have on the world and on families? How have you been a guardian of virtue?
2) How might young women’s language, actions, and appearance affect others? How might young women be exposed to pornography? What gospel principles and preventive measures can help them keep their thoughts and actions pure?

LESSON OBJECTIVE & REFERENCES
How we communicate reflects our understanding of who we are as children of God. Our language can either uplift and encourage others, or it can hurt and offend them. When we use uplifting language, we invite the Holy Ghost to be with us.
– Prepare Yourself Spiritually
1) Consider the power of words. In your life, how have you used words to inspire, teach, comfort, and communicate? How have the world’s standards of appropriate language changed during your lifetime?
2) Think about how you have seen the young women communicate with each other. How can you help them understand the importance of using uplifting and good language?

LESSON OBJECTIVE & REFERENCES
To fast is to go without food and drink voluntarily for a certain period of time. Fasting combined with sincere prayer can help you prepare yourself and others to receive God’s blessings. It is a source of spiritual strength. Through fasting, we can feel closer to Heavenly Father and strengthen our testimony. Fasting also includes giving a generous fast offering to help those in need.
– Prepare Yourself Spiritually
1) What are some of the reasons you have fasted, and what were the results of your fast? What do you do to make fasting meaningful?
2) Why is it important for the young women to understand the principle of fasting? What obstacles do the young women face in enjoying the full blessings of fasting?
