“Women shape the future,” he said. He invited us to help shape the gathering of Israel by doing four things:
1.
Participate in a 10-day fast from social
media and from any other negative or impure media. President
Nelson encouraged women to notice how the fast affects their priorities and
then to record and act on spiritual impressions they receive.
2.
Read the Book of Mormon between now and the
end of the year. President Nelson suggested that as they read, they mark
each verse that refers to the Savior and talk about Him with friends and family.
3.
Establish a pattern of regular temple
attendance. Time in the temple can lead to greater understanding about
how to draw upon God’s priesthood power, President Nelson said.
4.
Participate fully in Relief Society. He
added that studying the Relief
Society purpose statement and the Relief
Society declaration can help women understand who they are and
who the Lord needs them to be.
Of the important work of women, President Nelson said: “My dear
sisters, you have spiritual gifts and propensities. … I urge you, with all the
hope of my heart, to pray to understand your spiritual gifts—to cultivate, use,
and expand them, even more than you ever have. You will change the world as you
do.”
