HEBER, Utah -- Gathered with 2,300 young women high on a mountain top, Sister Elaine S. Dalton unfurled a banner to virtue on June 1.
The bright golden banner now stands among other colorful flags at the church's Heber Valley Camp for young women.
"Today as we raise a golden banner standing for virtue here at the Heber Camp, I might ask you to arise also and shine and stand," said Sister Dalton, Young Women general president.
"I ask you to undertake with me, beginning this day, a spiritual journey worthy of your and my best efforts. I ask you to press forward with me in a quest of unparalleled personal spirituality and purity. And I ask you each to determine right here, right now, that you will be virtuous and worthy to attend the temple."
The young women, attending the camp with their wards and stakes, sat in an amphitheater and endured light rain during the program, a celebration of all the Young Women values -- faith, divine nature, individual worth, knowledge, choice and accountability, good works, integrity and virtue.
