Faith and Virtue clothes herself in white, symbolizing purity.
Her shoes are removed; she stands in holy places. Her braided hair represents her past, present, and future being connected. She sits upon a pillar, the cornerstone and foundation of her faith, the Savior’s teachings, and that of his servants. The key around her neck represents the restored priesthood keys that bind her family together for eternity. Her lamp of testimony is filled drop by drop with the oil of conversion. Gazing toward her Heavenly Father, she is calm in a world of confusion and turmoil. She regularly attends the temple. As a daughter of God, her beauty radiates from living a virtuous and chaste life.
Proverbs 31:10 “Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.”
The last girl is Faith & Virture. The white she wears represents purity. Around her neck is a gold key that represents the priesthood keys that bind families together forever. The pillar that she sits on symbolizes her strength and unyielding anchor in Christ. (See Ether 12:4.) She listens and heeds the words of the apostles and prophets. Her shoes are removed; she attends the temple often and feels a bond with her ancestors that have gone before. Elder Richard G. Scott said, “Do you young people want a sure way to eliminate the influence of the adversary in your life? Immerse yourself in searching for your ancestors, prepare their names for the sacred vicarious ordinances available in the temple, and then go to the temple to stand as proxy for them to receive the ordinances of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost... I can think of no greater protection from the influence of the adversary in your life” (Ensign, Nov. 2012). President Boyd K. Packer also said, “Our labors in the temple cover us with a shield and protection, both individually and as a people” (Ensign, Oct. 2010). Her eyes gaze toward heaven as she longs for her heavenly home. In her hands she holds her precious lamp of testimony, filled drop by drop with the oil of her conversion.
