Knowledge Additional Value Experience (#4 in manual)

I wrote a talk on keeping the Sabbath Day holy. I talked last week in Sacrament meeting. I learned that it is very important to keep the Sabbath Day holy, and it will help us in our normal everyday lives. I have listed my talk below:

Good morning Brothers and Sisters, I was asked to speak on the topic "Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy". I was sort of shocked. I got home and told my Mom, "This is totally not fair. I have only been in YW for not even a year, and I am already asked to speak". So, sorry that you guys have to listen to me. But, I hope I am prepared enough to at least not bore everyone to death.
(Read Exodus 20:8-9), The "For Strength of Youth" pamphlet states" "The Lord has given the Sabbath Day for your benefit, and has commanded you to keep it holy". The Lord has commanded us to keep this commandment. There are a lot of things that we should always be doing on Sundays, such as: reading our scriptures, going to church, doing Personal Progress and Duty to God, writing in our journals about our week, etc.
There are so many more important things that we need to be doing on Sundays other than hanging out with our friends or going to the movies. (Read D&C 59:10), There is a part in the "For Strength of Youth" pamphlet that states: "The Sabbath Day will give you rest & rejuvenation".
I personally think that the Sabbath Day should be a day of rest from all other outside activities, and to be a day that we are with our families and not our friends. My family does FHE on Sundays. I like this because I think it completes the idea of being with your family and doing spiritual things on Sunday.
I think that our dress on Sunday can help us keep the mood of it still being Sunday even though church is out. The "For Strength of Youth" pamphlet says: "Your dress during, before, and after church meetings should show respect for the Sabbath". Now, I am not always the best at this, but I am trying to be better. I don't know about all of you, but the first thing I want to do after church is to change into my pajamas.
I think another very important thing we should all be doing on Sundays is having Sunday dinner with our families. I think we should be doing this because I think Sundays are the day of the week that the family should talk about their week and get a game plan for what everyone is doing.
In closing, I would like to leave you with my testimony. I think the Sabbath Day is the most important day of the week. I think we should all try our hardest to keep it holy. I know this church is true. I know that President Monson is a true Prophet of God, and I am so glad that I have the opportunity to be a part of this church.

Faith Required Experience #3

By doing this Family Home Evening, I got some great stories about prayer and how it can strengthen our testimonies.
My Sister said "When I said my prayers to find something, I found it". From this we can learn that Heavenly Father does always hear and answer our prayers.
My Dad said "When we pray, we are more in tune with the spirit, and if we are more in tune, we are more obedient to the spirit". From this we learn that it is very important to pray because it can help us in our daily lives.
My Mom said "When we pray, our days go better because Heavenly Father can use us as tools throughout the day". From this we can learn that if we pray we can have the spirit with us throughout the day, and this can help our days to go better.

Plan for Individual Worth Value Project
-Start date for project: July 5th, 2011
-Completion date for project: Aug. 20th, 2011
-My Project is: To participate in the play "Willy Wonka Jr" at the Empress Theater
-Steps that I will take to carry out this project:
1. Memorize my lines
2. Show up to rehearsals
3. Do my best when I perform
4. Know all of my dances and songs

By doing the play, I learned that with my talents I can make others happy. A few nights ago, one of the ushers brought down a letter to the cast. The letter told of her grandson and how he and his mother had been in an abusive home from the time he was born until a year ago yesterday. It told that the boy did not have much happiness until the night he came to our play. She also told how he would be at the play that night with his Mother who would be seeing it for the first time.
After the show, he got to meet all of us and with his golden ticket, he got to play on the set. Seeing the boy smile as he played made my day.
I had such a fun time doing the play. I made lost of new friends, and loved the directors. I loved how much fun we all had at rehearsals together. I loved doing the play, and I am so sad it's over.
-Total hours spent on the project: 157.5 hours!!!!!!!!

Knowledge Value Project (6-24-2011:6-26-2011)

My Project Plan For Knowledge
-My Project Is: To take a babysitting course to increase my knowledge of CPR and other babysitting skills
-My plan to carry out my project is:
1. Go to the babysitting course everyday
2. Listen good during classes
3. Pass my tests
4. Use the skills that I have learned
Summary of my Project
The first day of our babysitting training, we learned the proper ways to discipline children of different ages. On the second day of our babysitting training, we learned about general First Aid. We also learned about how to fix a bone that may be broken in case the child needs to be transported somewhere. At the end of the second day, we learned to do the Heimlich on infants and children. On the 2nd day we also learned CPR for infants and children as well as rescue breathing for infants and children. The 3rd day we took our tests for CPR certification, First Aid, and our babysitting skills. That day, we also learned how to do CPR, Rescue Breathing, and the Heimlich and general first aid on dogs and cats.
A few fun things we did:
1. An obstacle course
2. A trivia game on fire safety
3. Another trivia game on babysitting preparedness
4. We got to change dummy baby diapers and feed them
I think that this was a good Knowledge value project because the things that I learned can help me with babysitting and make me a better babysitter. These are important skills because they will help me be prepared in case of an emergency and to save a life if necessary.
-Total hours for this project: 16 hours

Faith Additional Value Experience #3 (#7 In Manual)

Paying my tithing has helped my faith grow because I know that the money I pay is going to a good cause. It will go to help build Temples for people around the world to enjoy.

1. Increased Faith
2. Helped me to get more babysitting jobs
3. Made me a better person spiritually
4. Helped me make a habit of paying my tithing
5. Helps me be worthy to go to the Temple

Additional Value Experience #2 (#5 In The Book)

           The Atonement
I think the scriptures I read showed how amazing Christ was and is. I think that what he did for us showes how much he cares about us. I love the savior. I think if someone asked me if I would die to save all of these people I might have a hard time saying yes.

Faith Additional Value Experience #1 (#4 in Manual)

           Sacerment
When we take the sacerment we renew our covents that we made at baptism.We make a promise that we will try our harest to not sin. When we take the sacerment we are forgiven for our sins. I think that the sacerment is very important for what it represents.

Faith Required Experience # 2

            I think that a mothers roll in the family is so important.A father is also a very important but we all know that our families can not think survive whith out our moms. I think that little girls look up to their moms so much and they want to be just like them. Little boys love their moms to they look up to them and depend on them.I believe that kids or even adults look up to their mothers as physcal examples and spirtual  examples.

Faith Required Experience #1

            Hebrews11:1
I think this scripture is very important because it teaches us a great lesson of the many great people who had great faith. I think that theese great people can stand for great examples in our life each day.
            Alma 32:17-43
After reading this scripture it became one of my favorite scriptures. It is very strong and powerful. And I think it gives across a very good message.
           Ether 12:6-22
I love that this is  saying that if those people did not have faith then theese things would not have happened.
          Jos.S.His.1:11-20
I love this it is saying thay if he would not have had faith then we would not have our church.
