“When we are baptized, we enter into a covenant. Elder
Robert D. Hales taught, ‘When we make and keep covenants, we are coming out of
the world and into the kingdom of God.’ We are changed. We look different, and
we act different. The things we listen to and read and say are different, and
what we wear is different because we become daughters of God bound to Him by
covenant. When we’re confirmed, we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, the
right to have the constant influence of a member of the Godhead to guide us, to
comfort us, and to protect us. He warns us when we are tempted to walk away
from our covenants and back into the world.” - Carole M. Stephens, Relief
Society General Presidency First Counselor
