Oh, that every girl and woman would have a testimony of her potential for eternal motherhood as she keeps her earthly covenants. “Each is a beloved . . . daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine . . . destiny” As spirit daughters of God, women “received their first lessons in the world of spirits” and . . . were among the “noble and great ones” (D&C 138:55) who “shouted for joy” (Job 38:7) at the creation of the earth because they . . . wished to work side by side with righteous men to accomplish eternal goals that neither can attain independently . . . Female roles did not begin on earth, and they do not end here.
