What attributes did these girls have?
COURAGE“We all know something of the courage it
takes for one to stand in opposition to united custom, and general belief. None of us likes to be ridiculed. Few are able to withstand popular opinion even when they know it is wrong, and it is difficult to comprehend the magnificent courage displayed by Abraham in his profound obedience to Jehovah, in the midst of his surroundings. His moral courage, his implicit faith in God, his boldness in raising his voice in opposition to the prevailing wickedness, is almost beyond comparison.”
Joseph Fielding Smith (The Way to Perfection, 86)
ABRAHAM OVERCAME THE TESTS AND TRIALS OF LIFE.
DELIVERANCE OF ABRAHAM CVIDEO ) (1:38)

“What we insistently desire, over time, is what we will eventually become and what we will receive in eternity.”
