Tonight I attended a stake personal progress recognition night where two young women in our ward were recognized for completing the Personal Progress program.
I was so proud of them and inspired again by how wonderful, meaningful, and important the Personal Progress program is.
As a YW leader, I have been working on the program for the last 18 months and loved reading the Book of Mormon for the virtue value project. I have also enjoyed refocusing on the YW values individually and have seen my life improve through study and goal setting.
I am so grateful for my mom, and wonderful young women leaders who encouraged me to complete the personal program as a teenager. As a teenager, Personal Progress gave me the opportunity to try out and practice skills, attributes, and talents that I now put to use every day as a wife and mother.
And the wonderful thing is that any woman "who desires to participate in and complete Personal Progress"(pg. 93) may do so! You can access the program online or obtain a book at any distribution center.
The Personal Progress program it is a great way to add simple goals and study habits to your life that will bless you and your family.

Good reminder! Maybe I'll try to earn mine again- with the new value of virtue! Yikes! :) Good goal to start this summer, right?
I love PP too! It's such a good program. I'm doing it again as well, adding the new requirements for virtue. I love how it helps YW see the connection between values and choices, choices and consequences, consequences and happiness!
Thanks for the post, Jord. You show so many of these values in your daily live, and you incorporate them into the lives of your family members. I'm grateful to YGR for her incorporation of these values in our family, as well. Keep it up.
I am so excited, I become a mother of a YW in Aug and then will be one for the next 18 years. I think I will be able to re-earn my medallion several times. I was so inspired when we attended New Beginnings. Thanks for all your hard work as a YW's leader. I am sure yo are terrific.
I was so close with my PP! Wish I would have just finished it.
I love that you're doing personal progress again! With all of the changes they've made I am sure it's even better this time around. I might have to pick up a book and do some myself. I love this program.
