March Focus: Knowledge

With the celebration of St. Patrick's Day this month, the Relief Society thought it would be fun to stick with the green theme and focus on the value "Knowledge" this month.


Value Experience #1:

Learn about the importance of gaining knowledge by reading Proverbs 1:5; 4:7; 2 Nephi 28:30; and Doctrine and Covenants 88:78–80, 118; 90:15; 130:18–19; 131:6. Think about why you need to gain knowledge and understanding about how to apply gospel principles to your present and future home and family life. Write in your journal what you have learned about knowledge, and discuss it with a family member or Young Women leader.

Go here to see the scriptures online and write in your online personal progress journal about this value experience. You'll need to sign in to your LDS account to access the page.

Please feel free to leave any thoughts you have about this value experience in the comments, or any ideas that might help others accomplish their goal!

Virtue

Since the Virtue Value Project is different from the other Values', we'll be focusing on Virtue each and every month to help us stay on track with our goal!

To begin this project, go to the Virtue section of the Personal Progress website, and scroll down to the bottom. Click Start Now: after the value Project logo.

You may begin this required value project at any time.

The Savior chose to live a virtuous life. Follow His admonition to “learn of me” (D&C 19:23) by reading the entire Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. Liken the scriptures to your life and circumstances. As you read, record your thoughts regularly in your journal. Note the example of the Savior. What did He and those who followed Him do to live virtuous lives? At the completion of your reading, record your testimony.

“I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book” (Joseph Smith, in introduction to the Book of Mormon).

You can even record your journal experiences online if that's easier for you! I don't know about everyone, but since I begin reading the Book of Mormon more often than I finish it, I am going to start my readings in 3rd Nephi. 3rd Nephi is my favorite of the books in the Book of Mormon, and I intend to start and end with it. You can begin wherever you'd like! What's your favorite book in the Book of Mormon? Why?
