~ Learn a new skill or talent: Budgeting ~
March 13, 2011
I have discovered that I am not very good at budgeting. I understand the concept perfectly but I don't have enough discipline. I definitely needs lots more practice at the talent of budgeting. And I need to better understand and appreciate the art of delayed gratification that comes with saving up for something I want. I promise to continue working at this talent and striving each month to become better at it because it is such an important skill to have.

Knowledge #3
3. Memorize Article of Faith number thirteen and recite it to a parent, a leader, or another adult. Then visit a museum or exhibit or attend a performance that involves dance, music, speech, or drama. Using this 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 leader.
2/26/2011 ~ A Tale of Two Cities. I didn't really care for the music but the story is beautiful of love, friendship, and sacrifice.
3/5/2011 ~ Suessical. For me this play was a wholesome recreational activity for my family. It was silly but a good thing for the family to enjoy.
3/8/2011 ~ Hairspray. This was a fun play that taught the virtues of friendship, inclusion, and standing up for what you believe in.
I am grateful for the guidelines the 13th Article of Faith gives us to help us know if something is good. Our Heavenly Father has given us many good things that bring us happiness and the Spirit. This scripture helps us know if these things of the world are good. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, of good report or praiseworthy, I will seek after it.

Individual Worth #2
2. 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.
* True to the Faith. Patriarchal blessings declare our lineage and give us personal counsel from the Lord; gives us guidance, comfort, and protection; teaches us what the Lord expects of us; follow its counsel; some promises will be fulfilled in the eternities; live worthy of your promised blessings.
* Julie B. Beck, "You Have a Noble Birthright," April 2006. Teaches of your life mission on earth; gives a glimpse of eternity, your eternal purpose and journey; instructions and knowledge from the Lord - your personal scripture; reveal your capabilities and potential; promises are contingent upon your faithfulness.
* Why? Patriarchal blessings are given to help you better understand who you are and what your mission here on earth is going to be. They can be a guide and comfort and will prepare you for eternity.
* Who? Only a called and set-apart Patriarch may give a patriarchal blessing.
* How? My patriarchal blessing has brought me great comfort over the years as I wondered if I would ever marry and be a mother. It promised me that those blessing would be mine and gave me faith to carry on. My blessing has also saved me spiritually. When I was ready to give up on it all a line came to me that encouraged me to remain faithful. I have seen many promised blessings fulfilled and I know more are still to come as I press forward with faith in the Lord.
