YW Narrator #1:
The purpose of the Young Women organization is to help each young woman, ages 12 to 18, "come
unto Christ" (Moroni 10:32).
By following the Savior's example and teachings, she can:
Solidify her testimony of Jesus Christ and the restored gospel.
Fulfill her mortal mission.
Return to live with her Heavenly Father.
(See "Young Women," section 4 of the Church Handbook of Instructions, Book 2: Priesthood
and Auxiliary Leaders [1998], 211.)
YW Narrator #2:
Tonight, our invitation to you is “to come closer to Christ.” We will be reading “The Parable of the
Princesses.” In this story, three princesses are given the task to build a castle while their father is away.
The young women organization and the personal progress program helps teach and encourage us to
build our individual castles.
