Dear Primary young men,
When you turn 12, you will be old enough to receive the Aaronic Priesthood. This is very important. When God gives you His priesthood, He will be telling you He trusts you. It will be your sacred duty to serve others as the Savior would.
Now is the time to start preparing. Watch and listen to the priesthood holders around you as they bless and pass the sacrament, baptize, give blessings, serve missions, and lead families. Always do your best to live the gospel standards. Then you will be prepared for that great day when you will receive the Aaronic Priesthood.
Sincerely,
David L. Beck
Young Men general president

Dear Primary young women,
We are so excited for the day when you will join Young Women! You are a precious daughter of Heavenly Father. In Young Women you will learn to stand as His witness at all times and in all things and in all places. You will receive a necklace to remind you to stand for truth and righteousness and let the Savior’s light shine to all the world. Your Personal Progress book will help you study the scriptures, set personal goals, and progress on the path to the temple. All these things will help you prepare to be a wife and mother and a great leader in the world.
Sincerely,
Elaine S. Dalton
