Read:
Matthew 5:16 (3 Nephi 12:16)
D&C 58:27-28
D&C 64:33
"[R]ise to the stature of that divinity [within you]. In that effort make the world in which you
live a better place for yourself and for all who will come after you. There is much to do. There are many
challenges to be met."
Discuss:
How do the women we've learned about tonight exemplify the principles taught in these passages?
How do members of our family--male or female--work to make the world a better place?
What wisdom or inspiration can we draw from the examples of the women we've learned about tonight?
