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.

We are finishing up Virtue 4 today. All you have left is to think about how you can live to always be worthy to partake of the Sacrament each week. One suggestion would be to make a daily plan to remain pure and worthy.  Once you finish that, be sure to have a parent or leader sign off on Virtue 4. Way to go! 

Keep on praying, ladies.

For personal progress today, read Doctrine and Covenants 20:77, 79. You will recognize these as the Sacrament prayers. Think about how the sacrament and Christ's sacrifice make it possible to live a virtuous life. 

And say those prayers morning and night. Has saying prayers become a habit yet? Have you had some experiences where your prayers have been answered. Feel free to share here if you like.

For Personal Progress today, be sure to read  the section on Repentance from For the Strength of Youth. Again, consider what this section has to do with living virtuously. And pray morning and night.

Hope your Easter was wonderful! We are starting a new Personal Progress value experience today: Virtue 4.

Because the Savior loves you and has given His life for you, you can repent. Repentance is an act of faith in Jesus Christ. Read Moroni 10:32–33, the book of Enos, and the section on repentance in For the Strength of Youth. The Savior’s atoning sacrifice has made it possible for you to be forgiven of your sins. Read the sacrament prayers in Doctrine and Covenants 20:77, 79. Determine to partake worthily of the sacrament each week and fill your life with virtuous activities that will bring spiritual power. As you do this, you will grow stronger in your ability to resist temptation, keep the commandments, and become more like Jesus Christ. Determine what you can do daily to remain pure and worthy, and write your plan in your journal. 

Today, all you need to do is read Moroni 10: 32-33 and Enos 1. Think about what these scriptures have to do with living virtuously. Also, we have just one more week left of saying prayers morning and night, then you can sign off Faith 1. You can do it!
