Conference Personal Progress Project

Looking for a Personal Progress 10 hour Project? Watch/Listen to General Conference this weekend! 

What you will need to do. 

Watch/Listen to... 

Both sessions Saturday 

Both sessions Sunday 

And Women Conference (from last weekend)

Take notes on each speaker. 

Then after you have finished all the sessions, write a journal entry. The journal entry will be on whatever "personal progress value" you decided to use for this project. 

You will need a new notebook or journal. This will keep all your notes and journal entry organized and together. You will enjoy looking back at this notebook/journal later. 

Here are some ideas on what Values you could use this as a project. 

Faith or Knowledge: Write about how your faith or knowledge has increased by listening to the words of the prophets. Then write your testimony on this value. 

Divine Nature, Individual Worth, or Integrity:  Write about any new ideas you have on how you can increase your divine nature, individual worth, or integrity. Then write your testimony on this value. 

Choice and Accountability:  Write about your choice to listen to all sessions of conference.  Include ideas on how conference affected you, as well as your testimony of the importance of making good choices.

You do not have to use any of these ideas. Talk with a parent or leader to come up with an idea that will work for you!

Come Unto Christ Music Video

There are a lot of things in my life that move me.  But consistently through the years, many of the most vivid and powerful spiritual experiences that I have had come to me not from the talks I hear, but from the music. A beautiful song is an inspiring thing.  So, I am happy that we are learning this years theme song of "Come Unto Christ".  

You can watch it again and sing along yourself here:  Come Unto Christ  

Happy singing!!
