Young Women of the Chico 3rd Ward
Chico, California Stake
It was an amazing experience to be able to join the young women of our ward and unfurl a banner of virtue. Over a year ago the General Young Women presidency announced a new YW value of Virtue. We followed their example and declared our own standard for virtue. We took the girl's and hiked a familiar trail--Monkey Face. Once at the top, we spoke about our decision to be chaste and virtuous. After bearing our testimonies and reading excerpts from Elaine S. Dalton's recent talk on Virtue, we let our banner wave. It was a powerful and moving moment as we saw our gold banner gently waving in the breeze. I will always remember this simple but powerful experience. I think it is especially important to me because I was able to share it with my daughter, Andrea.
"Your lives of purity and virtue are the banner that will cause the nations of the earth to look up.” Elaine S. Dalton
“As you live a virtuous life, you will have the confidence, power, and strength necessary to climb.” Elaine S. Dalton
“Great courage will be required to remain chaste and virtuous. You be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone.” President Monson
