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.

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. 

 

2013 April 24

Today for Personal Progress, we are starting a new value so today is heavy compared to most days. But, you can do it! We are almost done with Divine Nature 4 and Faith 1. We will finish them both on Sunday. 

Today, we are starting Good Works 1. Read:

Matthew 5:13-16

Matthew 25:34-40

Galatians 6:9-10

James 1:22-27

Record in your journal the small, quiet acts of service your family did for you today. 

Keep on memorizing the Sacrament prayers. Can you recite, from memory, the prayer over the bread? It's a little different from the water so be careful. Here's the water prayer with just the first letter of the word. You can do it. 

O  G__,  t__  E______  F_____,  w_  a__  t___  i_  t__  n___  o_  t__  S__,

Today for Personal Progress, keep doing what you said you'd do to remember the Savior each day. And let's keep working on memorizing the sacrament prayers. Here is the prayer without the vowels:

_  G_d,  th_  _t_rn_l  F_th_r,  w_  _sk  th__  _n  th_  n_m_  _f  thy  S_n,

Today and the next few days for Personal Progress, we are going to work on memorizing the prayer over the bread. Be sure to do what you said you'd do to remember the Savior each day. Just another week and you'll be done with Divine Nature 4. 

Just read the prayer today (Doctrine and Covenants 20:79):

O  God,  the  Eternal  Father,  we  ask  thee  in  the  name  of  thy  Son,

Jesus  Christ,  to  bless  and  sanctify  this  wine  to  the  souls  of

all  those  who  drink  of  it,  that  they  may  do  it  in  remembrance

of  the  blood  of  thy  Son,  which  was  shed  for  them;  that  they

may  witness  unto  thee,  O  God,  the  Eternal  Father,  that  they

do  always  remember  him,  that  they  may  have  his  Spirit  to  be

with  them.  Amen.

Happy Sunday!

For Personal Progress today, keep doing what you said you'd do to remember the Savior each day. Also, ponder about the meaning of the the Sacrament as you listen to the hymns and prayers. Think about the promises you made and the covenants you are renewing. Record your thoughts in your journal. 

  

2013 April 20

Much apologies! Due to a family situation I was not able to have yesterday's or today's posts up on time. I hope you kept on with what you were working on and found something to do for the day for Personal Progress. 

Today's Personal Progress task is to continue doing what you said you'd do for those two weeks to help you remember the Savior. Don't forget we are also working on Faith 4, which requires you to do some pondering during the Sacrament. Be sure to check in here tomorrow before you head to church.

2013 April 19

Today for Personal Progress, you need to do two things: 

1. Recite the sacrament prayer over the bread from memory. 

2. Do what you said you'd do at the start of each day to help you remember the Savior. 

2013 April 18

Today for personal progress, see if you can recite the prayer on the bread from memory. If not, look at April 17 post to get a hint. Also, be sure to remember to do whatever it was you planned to remember the Savior over these two weeks.

2013 April 17

Today for Personal Progress, read the sacrament prayer over the bread using only the first letters of the words. Spend about 10 minutes doing this exercise.

2013 April 16

Today for personal progress, we are going to work on memorizing the Sacrament prayer for the bread. Spend about 10 minutes today reading over the verse without any vowels:

_  G_d,  th_  _t_rn_l  F_th_r,  w_  _sk  th__  _n  th_  n_m_  _f  thy  S_n,

2013 April 15

Today, for Personal progress, we are starting Divine Nature 4:

Memorize the sacrament prayers in Doctrine and Covenants 20:77, 79. During the sacrament, listen carefully to the prayers and think about what it means to take upon yourself the name of Jesus Christ and how doing this should affect your actions and decisions. Practice keeping your baptismal covenants. Begin by doing something each day to recognize and further develop your divine qualities and to help you always remember the Lord Jesus Christ. After two weeks record your experience in your journal.

Today, you need to do is read the 2 verses and think about what you can do each day to help you remember the Lord and recognize and develop your divine qualities. You can look at the list you created when you finished Divine Nature 1 and choose 14 to focus on, one for each day throughout the two weeks. Or you can participate in the 14 Day Walk with Christ. 

Tomorrow, we will work on memorizing the prayers.
