We also asked each other about whose advice we value.

In groups, the participants read about women in the Old Testament and thereafter shared how these women are beautiful examples of how to trust in God.

After evening prayers the young women reflected upon the following: (1) whether trusting God is challenging or comforting; and (2) what worldly advice about decision-making is prevalent, and what the church calls us to do instead.
