STANDING AS A WITNESS OF GOD
WE ARE DAUGHTERS of our Heavenly Father,
who loves us, and we love Him.
WE WILL "STAND as witnesses of God at all times
and in all things, and in all places" (Mosiah 18:9)
as we strive to live the Young Women Values, which are:
FAITH . DIVINE NATURE
INDIVIDUAL WORTH . KNOWLEDGE
CHOICE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
GOOD WORKS . INTEGRITY
AND VIRTUE
WE BELIEVE as we come to accept and act
upon these values, WE WILL BE PREPARED
to strengthen home and family,
make and keep sacred covenants, receive
the ordinances of the temple, and enjoy
the blessings of exaltation.
The Personal Progress program uses the eight Young Women values to help you understand more fully who your are, why you are here on the earth, and what you should be doing as a daughter of God to prepare for the day you go to the temple to make sacred covenants. It will help you prepare for your future roles as a faithful woman, wife, mother, and leader in God's kingdom.
To complete the Personal Progress program and earn the medallion you are to complete the required experiences in each value and in addition, a 10 hour (minimum) value project for each of the eight values.
Abi was recognized in Sacrament Meeting last Sunday for completing the Personal Progress program. We are so proud of Abi and this accomplishment. The best part about it, is she did it on her own! There were a few things we did as a family and skills she learned from others, but it was her own dedication and diligence in getting her goals and requirements met.
We celebrated with a dinner of her choice for family night on Monday. She chose a steak dinner . . . her Dad makes the BEST steaks!
Here is what she chose to do for her 10 hour value projects:
Faith: Think of Faith as a seed and plant and harvest a vegetable garden. Working alongside her Dad, she prepared the ground, helped plant the garden, weeded, watered, and harvested throughout the summer.
Divine Nature: Make and tie a quilt
Individual Worth: Learned how to knit (taught by her Grammy) made a head band.
Knowledge: Work with my Mom on a homemaking skill she will teach me. Made a recipe box. Learned to make several meals. Added "favorites" to recipe box.
Choice and Accountability: Study "For the Strength of Youth" personally and with the family.
Good Works: Visit and do some activities with the ladies at the assisted living center every Friday.
Integrity: Stay after school and help a teacher grade papers. Be honest and correct them wisely
Virtue: Read the Book of Mormon and record my testimony.
"Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations"
(D&C 115:5)
Congratulations Abigail. What an awesome accomplishment!
