We hold in our arms the rising generation.
They come to this earth with important responsibilities
and great spiritual capacities.

In addition to finding opportunities
to provide spiritual experiences,

As you do your best, the testimony of Jesus
will gently distill upon your children's hearts.
They will go to their Heavenly Father in humble prayer
and feel His influence through the power of the Holy Ghost.
A stronger personal faith in Jesus Christ
will prepare them for the challenges
they will most surely face.
