"The Young Women program has in it [a] powerful pattern to develop spiritual strength in the young women and to offer the opportunity for us to help. Personal Progress helps young women prepare to receive the ordinances of the temple. They are helped by the examples of mothers, grandmothers, and every righteous woman around them in the Church."
President Henry B. Eyring, First Counselor in the First Presidency, "Help Them on Their Way Home," Liahona and Ensign, May 2010, 24–25.
