reminiscing

Not long after we realized that Consuelo was not going to recover from her hip surgery,

be in the world but not of the world

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.
There are so many worldly influences around us, making so very difficult to remain strong in our faith.
The Young Women of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, meet often each week.
They learn together, encourage each other, and serve others.
They strive to live the Young Women Values:

Faith • Divine Nature • Individual Worth • Knowledge • Choice and Accountability
Good Works • Integrity • and Virtue

By living these values, they become stronger in their faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ,
they are more aware of who they really are, what they are capable of, and better prepared for living in the world but not of the world.
This video serves as a reminder to all of us, to remain committed to living church standards.
