April and May Personal Progress Updates

Happy April!
This month, your calendar experience focused on the sacrament. As part of your "Come Follow Me" curriculum in April you learned about the apostasy and restoration. Part of the restoration was bringing back the sacrament as Jesus had taught it to his disciples. 
It is Faith experience #4. Did you read the scriptures pertaining to that experience? Have you set a pattern of pondering the sacrament prayers and journaled about your baptismal covenants? If not- that's okay! You can still complete this experience. The tidbits each day on the calendar can be a source to help you- but you can complete these experiences whenever it is best for you. I know you girls are sure busy!!
 And for our mutual activity in April you had the opportunity to work on 1 or 2 experiences in personal progress. Divine Nature #3: strengthening a family relationship AND Individual Worth #3: helping to build others and make them feel of worth. These experiences will largely be done by yourself, so I am sorry- we did not get to sign off these experiences that night. But I gave you some handouts to help you be successful. I hope that you will read over them several times and that you will ask yourself the questions I included and that they will help you to know WHO you can serve and love and WHAT you can do to serve and love.
 In fact, I have felt that those experiences can be so beneficial for you, that on May's calendar I will include tidbits to remind you of the goal to strengthen relationships and lift others. So no new calendar experience for May- just continuing from the mutual activity in April. I want you to be successful. So if you haven't yet started, you still can!
Since the calendar experience for May won't be centered on the "Come Follow Me" curriculum- our mutual activity will be! The theme for the month of May is "Prophets and Revelation". For May we will be working on Choice and Accountability #5. (And according to my notes, no one has yet completed that one!) That experience centers on learning more about the Holy Ghost- our revelator. We will also be making a craft to help us remember the prophets and their counsel. It will likely be similar to this...
or this...
 But instead of holding pictures we will be using them to hold our favorite quotes from conference so that we can always remember the prophets and their counsel! (Of course if you choose to use it to hold a picture that is fine too.) Perhaps a quote such as this...
Does this sound familiar to anyone? (Maybe from the movie we watched at our personal progress mutual?)
Happy personal progressing! Love you girls!
