Relief Society can be a blessing for young single adult women and can provide rich, gospel-related experiences for them. Within a loving sisterhood, these young women can enlarge their understanding of gospel principles, build firm testimonies, and give Christlike service. By doing these things, they prepare themselves for covenants and ordinances in the temple and for future challenges of life. . . .
Relief Society leaders should show loving acceptance and genuine friendship toward young women during their transition into Relief Society. This will help them live the gospel and continue in . . . activity.- Relief Society Handbook, p. 4
