I also felt like the spirit was with me more. I felt happy and peaceful. I have been trying hard to be more kind.

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.
