Divine Nature Project

I completed this project by participating in 6 weeks of my CTE class in school. During this time, we participated in focusing on the skills of cooking and sewing.
Sewing and Cooking: Sewing and cooking are 2 very good skills to learn to become a good homemaker. You need the skill cooking just in general. Cooking is something that you will need to be able to live on your own.
Sewing isn't something that you need to know, but no doubt it is something that is useful to know. It's great to know as you mend things. You can also even make things from scratch.
It is important for me as a future homemaker to learn how to establish a house of order. The skills of cooking & sewing allow me to know how to build a house of order because it is a skill I will need to take care of my future family. Heavenly Father wants us to have order in our house so that we can feel peace ad the spirit will be there.

Faith Project: Temple Walk

The Temple walk was my faith project. I really enjoyed the opportunity to do this. At first, I was not so excited to go. In fact, I really didn't want to go. As we walked, I started to have more and more fun. I met new people, and had friends to walk with.
When I got home I was thinking about it, and learned a very good lesson from all of this. I thought of it like life our lives. We are trying to get to our Heavenly Father. It might seem like an impossible task. You are going to want to stop a lot and ask for breaks from trying to get to where you want to be. But after you stop, it is really hard to start again. I thought this was cool, and a great thing for me to do for my faith project.

Good Works Value Project

Raise Money for the family
In this project, I raised a lot of money for a family who was in a car accident, and lost their 18 month old son, Colum (pictured above).
It felt great to know that I was helping this family. I had the opportunity to meet this family. They were very happy with what we had done for them. It feel great to help other people.

Good Works Additional Value Experience #3

Value Experience Description: Spend at least 3 hours giving service outside of your family. Record the reactions of the person you served and possible goals for future service opportunities.
When I was baby sitting at the primary meeting it was nice to feel appreciated. Because all of the parents were very grateful that we were there to watch their children for them. I was very glad to help teach primary. I got to plan and teach a lesson to the sunbeams. It was very fun to see their faces light up as they all got to participate in the object lesson we had planned for them. Where they got to lead each other around the room and act like one another's eyes. I liked serving at the food bank that was very rewarding to know that the food we were packing up was going to people who do not have the means to get their own food. I think that serving others can give you a great feeling of satisfaction. I think that when we serve others we are blessed in many ways. I love serving and will take every opportunity to serve others. I love the great feeling that I get inside after I serve someone. It makes me feel happy inside to know that I helped that person in some aspect of their life. Whether it be big or small.

Read Proverbs 31:10-31 and 2 talks on womanhood from a conference issue of the church magazines. Review what "The Family: A Proclamation To The World" says about being a wife and mother. Then ask your Mother, or another Mother you admire what she thinks are important attributes foor being a Mother. List the attributes in your journal.

Talk #1: Forget Me Not Talk by Elder Uchtdorff
Elder Uchtdorf said that women have patience, and kindness. He said that we need to not waste our time trying to succeed at finding our golden ticket. If we do not waste our time doing this, we can be much happier.

Talk #2: A Mother Heart by Julie B Beck
1. Mothers are loving
2. Mothers teach their children about God
3. Mothers are faithful

Proverbs 31:10-31
It said many things, but one that really stod out to me was a Mother should be praised by her husband and children. Another that stood out was how when they talk their tongue is filled with kindness and joy.

The Family: A Proclamation To The World:
Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurturing of their children. They are also responsible as house keepers or even the ones who provide for the family.

List of important traits from my Mom:
1. Faith
2. Nurturing
3. Self Discipline
4. Self Confidence
5. Praying always

Traits that I will work on for 2 weeks beginning on 1-22-12:

     I will do this by not watching TV before my homework is finished
     I will also work harder at not getting frustrated with my sister
2. Praying Always
     I will work at being more diligent about saying my night prayers

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.
