Today for Personal Progress, be sure to record in your journal any thoughts and feelings you have about how those you serve may have felt. What did you feel as you served someone else? 

 "And he commanded them that there should be no contention one with another, but that they should look forward with one eye, having one faith and one baptism, having their hearts knit together in unity and in love one towards another." Mosiah 18:21

What are you doing to serve someone this weekend? Please share. We would love to hear your projects and maybe even see some photos. You can share on Facebook on the Daily Progress page or on twitter @DailyProgress_. 

"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Matthew 25:40

Welcome to Memorial Day weekend!! This is the weekend we celebrate those who have given their lives so that we can have the freedoms we enjoy each day. Take a few minutes this weekend to think about what that means to you. Since this weekend should be about service, we are going to do Good Works 6: 

Spend at least three hours giving service outside your family. Ask your ward or branch Relief Society president or a community leader for suggestions for service. For example, you might take care of children while parents attend the temple; collect, make, or recondition toys or games for a nursery; accept an assignment to clean the meetinghouse; or perform errands for or read to a homebound person or others in need. Record in your journal the reactions of the person you served and possible goals for future service opportunities.

Today for Personal progress, talk with your parents and local church leaders, missionaries, community service organizations or scouting leaders to see if they have a need you can help meet through service. Make a plan to serve. If you can, try to complete this service on Monday. If you can't complete this service as soon as you can. 

Thank you to all those who serve our country. We appreciate all you do. 

Make service your focus this weekend and we will pick up again on Tuesday.
