Build Faith
Deepen Conversion
“In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost” (Russell M. Nelson, “Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2018, 96).

Develop Skills, Resilience, and Responsibility
Critical thinking sills
Resilience -
“Why do we need such resilient faith? Because difficult days are ahead. Rarely in the future will it be easy or popular to be a faithful Latter-day Saint. Each of us will be tested” (Russell M. Nelson, “Face the Future with Faith,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2011, 35–36).
Resilience is the ability to recover from or adjust easily to change or personal challenges. Plan experiences that develop resilience. Young men should believe in themselves—that they can influence outcomes in their lives through revelation, effort, working together, imagination, knowledge, and skill. With this attitude, they focus on what they can do rather than dwelling on what is beyond their control.
