Goals and Purpose of the Youth Dance Festival-Build testimonies
-Strengthen families -Foster unity and personal growth -Build a sense of belonging and mutual support -Develop talents and appreciation for cultural arts -Strengthen confidence in church membership -Build a wider circle of friends -Create opportunities to meet future temple marriage companions "The world around you is not equipped to provide the help you need to make it through this often-treacherous journey. So many in our society today seem to have slipped from the moorings of safety and drifted from the harbor of peace.
Permissiveness, immorality, pornography, drugs, the power of peer pressure—all these and more—cause many to be tossed about on a sea of sin and crushed on the jagged reefs of lost opportunities, forfeited blessings, and shattered dreams. Is there a way to safety? Is there an escape from threatened destruction? The answer is a resounding yes! I counsel you to look to the lighthouse of the Lord. I have said it before; I will say it again: there is no fog so dense, no night so dark, no gale so strong, no mariner so lost but what the lighthouse of the Lord can rescue. It beckons through the storms of life. It calls, “This way to safety. This way to home.” It sends forth signals of light easily seen and never failing. If followed, those signals will guide you back to your heavenly home." President Thomas S. Monson (‘Believe, Obey,Endure’, April 2012 General Conference) |
