2 Nephi 31:20 LDS Youth theme / scripture
The 2016 theme for the youth of the LDS Church is 2 Nephi 31:20.
“Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope,
and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ,

For my girls I love to have a little something to help them memorize the theme and keep it in their scriptures or on the wall.
