GENERAL CONFERENCE & PERSONAL PROGRESS!!
Hello YW and parents! This is one of my favorite weekends of the year. I LOVE fall and LOVE being able to listen to our leaders during the General Conference sessions.
I hope everyone had a great weekend and hopefully got to listen to some of the conference sessions!
I wanted to send along a few ideas where girls can work on Personal Progress goals if they listened to conference. The 2 week break is also a GREAT time to work on Personal Progress, especially if you are traveling and girls have time in the car to go through their books! For those who already earned their medallions, they can still use the ideas to help then study the words of wisdom given by our church leaders.
If girls listened to all sessions, including the YW Broadcast, they can use this for one of the 10 hour projects.
Faith
Faith
Faith #1: After reading some scriptures, you are asked to find and read two general conference talks on faith. During conference, take notes on what the speakers say about faith. If your conference experience is a little chaotic, you could try to make a note of at least two talks to reference later. See this link to get all the requirements for Faith #1.
Divine Nature
Divine Nature #2: Learn about a Proverbs 31 kind of woman in the scriptures then find two talks on womanhood. The women’s session of conference is a great place to learn about womanhood, though the general sessions have been full of incredible talks on womanhood as well. (Check out Elder Christofferson’s “The Moral Force of Women,” Elder Cook’s “LDS Women Are Incredible!,” or President Hinckley’s “The Women in Our Lives” to see what I’m talking about.) See this link to get all the requirements for Divine Nature #2.
Individual Work
Listen to conference and see if anyone mentions his or her patriarchal blessing, how to prepare to receive one, and what one even is. Make a note to go back through that (or those talks) and review what was said. See this link to get all the requirements for Individual Worth #2.

Knowledge
Knowledge #4 - Select a gospel principle you would like to understand better (for example, faith, repentance, charity, eternal families, or baptismal covenants). Read scriptures and the words of latter-day prophets that relate to the principle. Prepare a five-minute talk on the subject and give the talk in a sacrament meeting, in a Young Women meeting, to your family, or to your class. Record in your journal how you can apply this gospel principle in your life.
Choice & Accountability
Any experience In my opinion, it seems like the majority of conference talks touch on the topics covered in these experiences, so it should be easy to find one to correlate with the experience of your choice!
Good Works
Good Works #4: Teach a lesson about service in family home evening or in another setting. Use pictures, music, examples [from General Conference], or demonstrations in your lesson. You may want to use the manual Teaching, No Greater Call as a resource.
Integrity #7: List the issues, trends, and problems that weaken the family. Read the First Presidency message, “The Family: A Proclamation to the World”, and the section on family in For the Strength of Youth. Then research in the Church magazines the counsel of those whom we sustain as prophets, seers, and revelators. Write in your journal your plan to strengthen your present family and the values and traditions you want to establish with your future family.
Virtue
Any experience as with Choice and Accountability, so many talks touch on the topics discussed in the value of Virtue, so there should be no problem finding one that fits!
10 Hour Value Project:
· Select the value you would like to study as your project and discuss your plans with a parent or leader. Write your project and have a parent or leader approve it.
· Create a General Conference notebook or print the General Conference Study Packet. http://www.thepersonalprogresshelper.com/2015/03/general-conference-study-packet-free-download.html/
· Watch General Conference. The General Sessions total 8 hours, with the Women’s Session being 1.5 hours and the Priesthood Session being 2 hours.
· Throughout General Conference, take notes on the teachings about the specific value you’ve chosen. Write down quotes, scripture references, and stories with examples.
· At the close of General Conference, study your notes and write in your journal your overall impressions of General Conference, and how your understanding of the value you chose has increased.
· Share with a parent or leader how your testimony grew through General Conference as you studied your value.

Additional ideas to get to 10 hours if you didn’t listen to all conference sessions:
· Create a quote board with your favorite quotes you’ve written down and keep it in your bedroom or locker.
· Go back and make a schedule to study all the talks directly following General Conference. (They’re available by the following Wednesday)
· Create Family Home Evening Lesson Plans based on General Conference Talks and share them with your family and fellow Young Women.

Personal Progress Online Book
I suggest each of the girls enter the goals they've achieved in the online Personal Progress Book. You have the option to journal your thoughts there, but don't have to write comments online. The reason I would suggest tracking goals is because sometimes books get lost of ruined, so the goals are sometimes gone forever. If they are entered online, you will ALWAYS have a record of them. It is also helpful to track your progress easily.

What Do I Do When I Complete Personal Progress?
Completing the Personal Progress program is a significant step in strengthening your faith and testimony and preparing for temple covenants. You have learned how to make commitments, carry them out, and report your progress. This process should continue as you remain on the path to the temple and continue to develop qualities that will help you throughout your life. You may continue your progress by earning an Honor Bee or by beginning Personal Progress again.
Earn an Honor Bee

The Honor Bee charm was historically given to young women who were willing to do more than was required. To continue your progress, you may earn an Honor Bee to accompany your Young Womanhood Recognition medallion. You may earn an Honor Bee charm after completing both of the following requirements:
1
Read the Book of Mormon again. A daily habit of scripture study will strengthen your faith and help you receive personal inspiration and guidance throughout your life. If you read just five minutes a day, you can complete the entire Book of Mormon in one year.
2
Serve others for a total of 40 hours. Where possible, some of these hours should include mentoring another young woman with her Personal Progress. This should be done under the direction of the ward or branch Young Women presidency. As you help another young woman, you may want to:
- Be her friend.
- Be an example of a righteous daughter of God.
- Encourage her to work with her parents in selecting appropriate value experiences and projects.
- Help her follow through with value experiences and projects.
- Help her keep records of value experiences and projects.
- Help her understand the gospel principles that the value experiences and projects teach.
- Encourage her to read the Book of Mormon, and discuss with her what she is reading.
- Encourage her to share value experiences and projects with her family.
