Personal Progress

So, obviously this is not chapter three in Jake's story but, this is something a little different. Someone in my ward (church) gave me a really good idea. There is a thing that the young women do in our church and its called "Personal Progress". What you do is complete "value experiences" which are things that you need to finish. I have done them all already ( I finished them when I was 18) but I thought that it would help me and strengthen my testimony by doing it all over again. The experiences that they have you do are really good.
I got the booklet today and I am going to start today! I will keep track of everything I do on my blog so that I can have a journal (which is required and I don't have one right now) and so that I can be held responsible to do them all. ( I want to finish them either this year or in two years. No later) My first experience is in the section of Faith.
What I am supposed to do is read Hebrews 11; Alma 32:17-43; Ether 12:6-22; and Joseph Smith-history 1:11-20. Then, read two general conference talks on faith and establish a habit of prayer, morning and night. After doing it for three weeks I need to discuss it with someone about what I learned about faith. in my journal I am to express my feelings about faith and prayer. I will do so on my blog and let you know what I learned. :) I am really excited. I really like things like this and it will help to give me the extra strength that I need in my life. :) Have a good sunday!
