Ezra Taft Benson
Give me a young woman who loves home and family, who reads and ponder the scriptures daily, who has a burning testimony of the Book of
Mormon. Give me a young woman who faithfully attends her church meetings, who is a seminary graduate, who has earned her Young
Womanhood Recognition Award and wears it with pride!
Give me a young woman who is virtuous and who has maintained her personal purity, who will not settle for less than a temple marriage, and I will give you a young woman who will perform miracles for the Lord now and throughout eternity.”
