Optional Individual Worth Value Experience

You can prepare to face the trials of mortality by learning about your own divine mission. Read Doctrine and Covenants 93:24, Isaiah 55:8–9 and Jacob 4:13. Choose two General Conference talks to read from this list:

Thomas S. Monson, “May You Have Courage,” Mar. 2009 general Young Women meeting.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “We Are Doing a Great Work and Cannot Come Down,” Apr. 2009 general conference.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Your Happily Ever After,” Mar. 2010 general Young Women meeting.
Paul V. Johnson, “More Than Conquerors through Him That Loved Us,” Apr. 2011 general conference.

Discuss how keeping an eternal perspective will help you face the trials of life with more faith and optimism with a family member, leader, or friend. In your journal list things you can do now to have a better perspective on life and the trials you face.

An Uplifting Enviornment

Today I taught the lesson on "An Uplifiting Enviornment" in Young Women's. I think my favorite quote was in the additional resources. James E. Faust said,  "Spiritual nutrients, which keep us spiritually healthy, can lose their potency and strength if we do not live worthy of the divine guidance we need. … We need to keep our minds and bodies clean from all forms of addiction and pollution. We would never choose to eat spoiled or contaminated food. In the same selective way, we should be careful not to read or view anything that is not in good taste. Much of the spiritual pollution that comes into our lives comes through the Internet, computer games, television shows and movies that are highly suggestive of or graphically portray humanity’s baser attributes. Because we live in such an environment, we need to increase our spiritual strength” (James E. Faust, “Spiritual Nutrients,”  Ensign and Liahona, Nov. 2006, 53–55.).
If you are interested in the simple handout I put together, you can download it here.

I've also worked on updating the Value Experience packets. You can now download a packet for each of the Value Experiences in Faith, Divine Nature, and  Individual Worth.
