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
