Editor’s note: Refinements were announced Nov. 3, 2026, for the youth program of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Young Men and Young Women general presidencies are compiling messages published by the Church News to help youth, parents and leaders understand and implement these refinements. Find these articles and other coverage at TheChurchNews.com/youth. Learning by doing Have you ever tried to learn how to cook a favorite meal or play a musical instrument? You can watch someone else do it. You can read instructions or listen to advice. But eventually, you have to try it yourself. That is when real learning begins. The gospel is much the same. We learn about Jesus Christ through the scriptures, lessons and the words of living prophets. But our faith grows strongest when we act on what we learn. As we pray, serve others, keep commandments and follow promptings from the Holy Ghost, we come to know the Savior in a more personal way.

A Common Quandary to discuss

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

The proposal is perfect and the ring is terrible. When do you say so?

Your partner proposes with a costly ring chosen after months of secret planning. You love the proposal and want the marriage, but strongly dislike the ring you would be expected to wear every day. Returns are possible for one week.

How much honesty can a loving gesture reasonably be asked to survive?
