3. Read Doctrine and Covenants 18:10 and 121:45. Do all you can to build others and make them feel of worth. Every day for two weeks notice the worthwhile qualities and attributes of others. Acknowledge them verbally or in writing. In your journal write what you have learned about the worth of individuals and how your own confidence grows when you build others.
* D&C 18:10. The worth of souls is great to God.
* D&C 121:45. Have charity and virtue - you will strengthen your confidence before God.

~ What have I learned about the worth of others? ~
Our Heavenly Father loves each of His children and He wants them to know it and have confidence in themselves. Sometimes I have had to go out of my comfort zone to compliment others but every time I made the effort I felt good to know I had brightened someone's day. I need to always strive to compliment others and build them up. It is a small service I can give to them and it will make me feel good too. People look up to me as a leader and a big part of that is building up others. This has been a good experience, one I will keep doing.

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.

Individual Worth #1
1. You are a daughter of Heavenly Father, who knows you and loves you. Read Psalm 8:4–6; Jeremiah 1:5; John 13:34; Doctrine and Covenants 18:10; Abraham 3:22–23; and Joseph Smith—History 1:1–20. Write in your journal how these scriptures teach you that Heavenly Father knows you, loves you, and is mindful of you.

~ Heavenly Fahter knows me, loves me, and is mindful of me ~
* Psalm 8:4-6 - The Lord has crowned us with glory and honor and given us dominion over His creations.
* Jeremiah 1:5 - The Lord knew us and ordained us before we were born.
* John 13:34 - We are commanded to love one another as Christ loves each of us.
* D&C 18:10 - We have great worth to God.
* Abraham 3:22-23 - We are part of the noble and great ones who have been chosen to be rulers; we are good.
* JSH 1:1-20 - Heavenly Father knows each and every one of us and the desires of our hearts. Through our faith He will give us the answers and blessings we seek.
~ Thoughts ~
As I apply these scriptures to myself - change out other words for "Chelsea" or "I" - I truly do feel the love that Heavenly Father has for me. He is most definitely aware of me, my situation, and the righteous desires of my heart. I do not go through this life and its challenges alone because I know Heavenly Father loves me and is watching out for me and has a great plan for me.
