22 May 2013

Today for Personal Progress, you need to make a plan to receive your Patriarchal blessing if you have not already received it. Schedule a Bishop's Interview with your ward's executive secretary and be sure to let him know you are interviewing to receive your recommend for your Patriarchal blessing. Once you have that recommend, you can call the Patriarch and set up an appointment with him. I encourage you to fast and pray in the days and weeks leading up to your receiving of this blessing. If you've already received your blessing, or once you receive it, sign off this experience. 

Also, continue developing the divine quality you've been working on. 

 

21 May 2013

Today for personal progress, you need to talk with a parent or leader about Patriarchal Blessings. Discuss how you should prepare to receive a patriarchal blessing and how it can help you know of your worth and be a guide for you throughout your life. 

Also, keep working on the divine quality you are developing.

Today for Personal Progress, we are starting Individual Worth 2. 

Learn about the importance of patriarchal blessings by studying about them in True to the Faith and recent conference talks. Find out why they are given and who can give them. Discuss with a parent or Church leader how to prepare to receive a patriarchal blessing and how it can teach you of your worth and identity and be a guide throughout your life. If you have not received your blessing, prepare to receive it.

15 May 2013

Today for Personal Progress, we are doing Virtue 2. 

Virtuous living “at all times and in all things, and in all places” qualifies you for the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. When you are baptized and confirmed, you are given the gift of the Holy Ghost to guide all aspects of your life. Since the Holy Ghost does not dwell in unclean tabernacles, living a virtuous life is a prerequisite to having the companionship of the Holy Ghost and receiving the blessings of temple ordinances. Read the following scripture references and identify the promised blessings: John 14:26–27; 15:26; 2 Nephi 32:1–5; and Doctrine and Covenants 45:57–59; 88:3–4; 121:45–46. In your journal record what you have learned, and write about a time when you felt the guidance of the Holy Ghost.

Read the scriptures and identify the blessings you are promised from following the Holy Ghost and keeping the commandments. In your journal, record what you learned and write about a time when you felt the Holy Ghost. Then sign off on Virtue 2. 

 

14 May 2013

Today for personal progress, we are finishing up Knowledge 1. Read Doctrine and Covenants 88:78-80, 90:15, 130:18-19, 131:16. Be sure to record in your journal your thoughts about why you should gain understanding about how you can teach gospel principles to your future families. Then share your thoughts with a family member or a YW leader. You are done with Knowledge 1. 

Also, don't forget to keep working on that divine quality you chose for Divine Nature 2. 

  

13 May 2013

Today for personal progress, we are starting Knowledge 1.

Think about why you need to gain knowledge and understanding about how to apply gospel principles to your present and future home and family life. Write in your journal what you have learned about knowledge, and discuss it with a family member or Young Women leader.

28 April 2013

Hey Guys, sorry again for the delay in posting. Our Young Women's Camp fundraiser was this weekend and I was just not able to think about anything else. Since my advice to you if you miss a day is just to pick up where you left off, that's what we are going to do.

Hopefully you still worked on Divine Nature 4 and continued doing what you said you'd do to remember the Savior. If you did that over these past few days, you are done! Check it off. 

And maybe you kept working on Good works 1 by recognizing acts of service others do for you? 

The only thing you may have forgotten about was the third Sunday of Faith 4 to make a special effort to listen to the sacrament prayers and ponder the covenants you made at baptism. If you did that today, WAY TO GO! Check it off.  If not, do it next Sunday. I'll remind you in case you forgot this week. 

Ok, so let's keep on keeping on.

Tomorrow we start Integrity 3. and I'm super excited about it. I hope you are too.

  

2013 April 25

For Personal Progress today, read Mosiah 2:17, Mosiah 4:26, and 3 Nephi 13:1-4 and record in your journal the small acts of service your family has performed for you today. 

Can you recite the Sacrament prayers from memory yet? Give it a try. You need to have both prayers memorized by Sunday. Also, remember to do what you said you'd do to help you remember the Savior each day.
