Knowledge Required Experience #2

Experience Description: In your journal list talents you have and others you would like to develop. Read Matthew 25:14–30. Learn a new skill or talent that will help you care for your own future family or home (for example, playing the piano, singing, budgeting, time management, cooking, sewing, or child care). Share with your family, class, or Young Women leader what you have learned.
For this experience, I took singing lessons and performed in a concert. By doing this, I have learned good discipline that will help me in life. It has also taught me how to have the desire and motivation to reach my goals.  
            

Knowledge Additional Value Experience #2

For my knowledge additional value experience #2, I attended the Mormon Miracle pagenat at the Manti Temple. I learned how hard it was for the early members of the church, and how they all made sacrifices to establish the church, and make it the way it is today. They were asked to make many sacrifices, like leaving their homes amongst other things.
D&C 52:42: 42 And thus, even as I have said, if ye are faithful ye shall assemble yourselves together to rejoice upon the land of aMissouri, which is the land of your binheritance, which is now the land of your enemies.

Good Works Extra Value Experience

For One of my Good works extra value expereinces, I helped with my cheerleading group at a tournament for an organization that creates suicide awareness. I learned how important and special the gift of life is, and how easily it can be taken awy. I also learned how important it is to realize your self worth.
D&C 15:6: And now, behold, I say unto you, that the thing which will be of the most worth unto you will be to adeclare brepentance unto this people, that you may bring csouls unto me, that you may drest with them in the ekingdom of my fFather. Amen.

Choice & Accountability Project

My Project is: To make a video project about drinking and being impressionable
My Plan to carry out this idea:
1. Think of an idea
2. Find Material
3. Make the Video
4. Present it to a class of young teens
-A scripture that goes along with this project: 13 And if ye shall say there is ano law, ye shall also say there is no sin. If ye shall say there is no sin, ye shall also say there is no righteousness. And if there be no righteousness there be no happiness. And if there be no righteousness nor happiness there be no punishment nor misery. And if these things are not bthere is no God. And if there is no God we are not, neither the earth; for there could have been no creation of things, neither to act nor to be acted upon; wherefore, all things must have vanished away

From doing this video, I learned there are consequences to bad choices. Other people are affected by our wrong doings, sometimes causing awful tragedies, such as the loss of a child, and long lasting troubles and trials to others.

Individual Worth Value Experience #2

Value Description: Learn about the importance of patriarchal blessings by studying about them in True to the Faith and recent conference talks. Find out why they are given and who can give them. Discuss with a parent or Church leader how to prepare to receive a patriarchal blessing and how it can teach you of your worth and identity and be a guide throughout your life. If you have not received your blessing, prepare to receive it.

Integrity Value Project

For my value project, I participated in a year of cheerleading at my school. In doing this, I learned a lot of valuable lessons that I'll always keep with me. I enjoyed most of the time that I spent on my team this year. Being the only LDS member forced me to have to stand alone for my values, and always do what was right no matter what else was going on. I believe that this is part of integrity. This strengthened my testimony.

Divine Nature Additional Value Experience #6

Memorize your favorite verse from one of these passages. Identify the divine qualities mentioned in all these scriptures and list them in your journal.

Journal Entry: I picked patience as the divine quality I wanted to work on. In this, I saw relationships between my friends and family grow a lot. I was trying to be more patient with my little sister, and it helped us get along better.

Choice & Accountability Required Experience #2

Value Experience: Read the pamphlet For the Strength of Youth. List in your journal each standard of righteous behavior the pamphlet outlines, and record why it is important to choose to live those standards. Practice living righteous standards by choosing three standards in which you need to improve. After three weeks share your progress with your family, your class, or a leader.

Journal Entry: Participating in this experience helped me realize the importance of The Strength of Youth Pamphlet. I chose to work on: Family, Education, and Repentance. Keeping education in mind, I was able to get my best GPA of the year. Keeping family in mind, I was able to get along better and grow stronger relationships with my family members. Keeping repentance in mind, I was able to understand the importance of repenting daily.
Participating in this helped my faith and testimony grow stronger.

Individual Worth Required Project #3

Experience Description: Read D&C 18:10 and 121:45. Do all you can to build others and make them feel of worth. Every day day for 2 weeks notice the worthwhile qualities and attributes of others. Acknowledge them verbally or in writing. In your journal write about what you have learned about the worth of individuals and how your own confidence grows when you build others

Journal Entry: When you have others in mind your days go a lot better. You realize the worth of others, and you care more about them and where they are coming from. Everyone on this Earthis one of God's children, which he loves very much. Everyone is equally important in the sight of God. He loves us all unconditionally. When you look at people that way, it helps you develop a new appreciation for everyone you encounter. It makes it easier to love and tolerate others.

Knowledge Required Value Experience

Experience Description: Memorize Article of Faith number thirteen and recite it to a parent, leader, or another adult. Then visit a museum or exhibit or attend a performance that involves dance, music, speech, or drama. Using the article of Faith as a guide, evaluate what you saw and heard. In your journal write your thoughts about how you can use this article of faith as a guide for all you do so the Holy Ghost will be your constant companion. Share those thoughts with a parent or a leader

Journal Entry: The play that I went and saw was called The Christmas Box. It was all about Christmas time. It connected in a lot of ways to the 13 articles of faith. The play was about Christ, love, compassion, and family.

If I follow everything in this article of faith, it will help ensure that I will always be in a place where the Holy Ghost can dwell with me.

Good Works Required Value Experience #3

Experience Description: Read18:7-10, and in your journal list 3 ways you can comfort others or help them bear their burdens. Do the things on your list, and tell a family member or a leader about the experience and how your attitude and understanding have changed.

Journal Entry: Sometimes doing something as small as listening to someone can help a lot. Being there for people and helping them through something can also help. Like the scripture says, We should mourn with those who mourn and comfort those that stand in need of comfort.

Some things that  I have done that display this are:
1. Helping my sisiter with a school issue
2. Helped 2 friends at school who had a fight
3. Helped a friend who was sad when one of their parents moved away
