Personal Progress value experiences

Here are the value experiences that relate to last week's lesson on the Holy Ghost and this Sunday's lesson on finding joy in our divine potential:

Choice and Accountability
5. Learn about the Holy Ghost. With a parent, Young Women leader, or friend, read and discuss Ezekiel 36:26–27; John 14:26; 16:13; Galatians 5:22–25; 2 Nephi 32:5; Moroni 10:4–5; and D&C 11:12–14. Then record in your journal how the Holy Ghost can help you make good decisions in your daily life. Pray for and live worthy of the companionship of the Holy Ghost.

Integrity
2. Develop a pattern of personal integrity in your life as you select a personal behavior you wish to change. This could include avoiding gossip; avoiding inappropriate jokes, swearing and profanity, and being light-minded about sacred subjects; being completely truthful; being morally clean; and being honest, dependable, and trustworthy in your schoolwork and other activities. Pray daily for the Holy Ghost to help you live with integrity. After you have established this habit, record your feelings in your journal. Share your experience with a parent or Young Women leader.

Divine Nature
2. Increase your understanding of and appreciation for womanhood. Read Proverbs 31:10–31 and two talks on womanhood from a conference issue of the Church magazines. Review what “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” (see page ii) says about being a wife and a mother. Then ask your mother or another mother you admire what she thinks are important attributes for being a mother. List the attributes in your journal. Then choose one of those attributes and strive to develop it. After two weeks report your success to a parent or Young Women leader.

Individual worth
2. Learn the importance of planning and preparation. Read D&C 88:119. In your journal make a list of your hopes and dreams for your future home, family, and education and some important things you would like to accomplish in your life, including becoming a wife and mother. Then record a plan that will help you achieve your goals. Share this plan with a family member, leader, or friend.
