Moses 1:39 Scripture Mastery

Moses 1:39 says, 

"For behold this is my work and my glory to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man."

I like this scripture because God wants us to have eternal life with him.

How can you assist God in His work?
   I can assist God by being a missionary and serving others. By serving others I am also in the service of God (Mosiah 2:17).  If I teach the gospel to others and try to be a missionary, I will bring others closer to Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father.

How can you help others seek eternal life?
 I can help others seek eternal life by teaching them about eternal life. Eternal life sounds nice to me. You will be able to be with Jesus and Heavenly Father forever in a wonderful and beautiful world. Sometimes this is hard to even think possible. I can help other understand this and teach them about the blessing it will be to follow God in this life.

I took this picture a few days ago.  If you have any questions or comments, feel free to share them.

The completion of Personal Progress

Well, I have completed Personal Progress!!  It has been an amazing experience. I am so happy that I finished it. I finished it a couple of days ago.  The final thing that I had to do, was read the Book of Mormon.

My medallion!

I LOVED reading the Book of Mormon. My favorite part of the Book of Mormon was when Jesus Christ comes to America to visit the people.  I am grateful for his example. When he was in America he healed the sick, the blind, the dumb, the deaf, the lame. He also blessed all of the little children.

I encourage anyone and everyone to read the Book of Mormon with a prayer in there hearts. The Book of Mormon is on of the most true books ever.

Although, I have completed Personal Progress, I am going to be working on my Honor Bee. Honor Bee is optional. The requirements to complete it are: Read the Book of Mormon, and do 40 hours of service. I can't wait until I finish that! If you are interested in reading the Book of Mormon click here.

Individual Worth #1 and Good Works #6

                Hi! I am Panda and I just barely turned 12. I am so excited to finally be in Young Women. I really was excited to start because I was the last person in my class to turn 12.

                I have finished Individual Worth #1. In order to finish it I had to read Psalm 8:4-6, Jeremiah 1:5, John 13:34, Doctrine and Covenants 18:10, Abraham 3:22-23, and Joseph Smith History 1:1-20. Then I had to write in my journal on how those scriptures taught me that Heavenly Father knows, loves, and is mindful of me. How I know that my Heavenly Father loves me is that he helps me through my trials.

                I also finished Good Works #6. What you have to do is spend at least 3 hours giving service outside your family. I babysat a family with my sister, while the parents went out for free.  

                Well that’s all for now, see you later.

Divine Nature #7 - Peacemaker

Hey! For this experience I had to learn the definition of peacemaker.  I looked up scriptures to help me better understand what a peacemaker is. One of the scriptures I found was :    Matthew 5:9

Matt 5:9

I took this picture. Isn't it cool? I tried to be more of a peacemaker for two weeks. I prayed for help each day. I sometimes was hard, but it was worth it to keep the spirit in my home. 

Being a peacemaker is part of your divine nature because sometimes it is hard to be a peacemaker and Christ was a peacemaker, so being a peacemaker is being more Christlike.

That's all for now! See ya! 

Divine Nature 6- Developing Divine Qualities

I recently finished Divine Nature #6. For this you develop divine qualities. There were multiple scriptures that I read to help me know what Divine qualities I can develop. Some them I found in the scriptures are:

• Peacemaker
• Loving one another
• Joy
• Gentleness
• Long suffering
• Goodness
• Faith
• Forgiveness
• Charity
• Gentleness

One of my favorite scriptures I read was 1 John 4:2

" And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also." 

I like this scripture because it is saying that if you love God you love everyone, even your enemies. I tried to be more gentle for two weeks. I prayed for help and tried to keep the spirit with me.

 I  memorized this scripture, wrote on a piece of paper, and hung it up to remind me to love God. I challenge you to memorize it.

Well that's all for now. See you! 

2015 Theme- Embark in Service

Well it is a new year. This year I will try to be better at posting stuff. I can’t believe it is 2015!!!!

Doctrine and Covenants 4:2

Each year there is a mutual theme. The theme for last year was “Come unto Christ and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness…” Moroni 10:32.  This year’s theme is, “Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind, and strength that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day.”  Doctrine and Covenants 4:2.  I like this theme. It makes me want to serve more.

Service can be something as simple as writing a letter. I love to serve. It makes me so happy. Here are some service ideas for you:

•   Write letters to friends, family, and people in the ward
•   Make cookies for neighbors, friends, or missionaries.
•   Smile
•   Hold the door open for someone
• Do Family History and take the names to the temple
• Be a friend
• Babysit someones kids for free while they go to temple

  I hope you will serve more this year. Service is a great thing. Well see you next time!

Family History- Individual Worth Experience 6

I am a little behind on posting stuff... I am finished with Individual Worth.

Oh well. Anyways, for Individual Worth Value Experience 6, I had to visit with a relative and learn as much as I can about my family's history and then create a pedigree chart. At the time my grandma was in town so she helped me out. I have lots of old and new family photos in my house, so we looked at a bunch of those.

It was really fun to look at old photos of people at weddings, graduations, and even people at the beach. One story about my family history is about my great- grandma's great-grandpa.

Frants, Severine, and Jensine Grundvig

He and his mom, Jensine Hostmark Grundvig, and dad, Frants Christian Grundvig were from Denmark. They were converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) in 1860 and 1861. They then decided to immigrate to the USA in Utah. On the six week long ocean trip, the son, Severine,  was one of the two or three children to catch the measles and to survive.

They reached the New York harbor on June 14, 1865. One morning, west of Laramie while traveling, Jensine got tired and stayed behind. Frants stayed behind as well. A band of Sioux Indians caught up with Jensine and Frants. Two of the Indians grabbed Jensine and rode off. Frants ran off to tell the camp, but got shot in the hip with an arrow. He took the arrow out of his hip and crawled back to camp. He and Severine got to Utah. Jensine was never heard from again and Frants later found out that she had died.

Jensine was the only ever Mormon emigrant  to have been captured by Indians in the entire history of Mormon overland travel. Interesting isn't is?  I have a picture of Severine Grundvig somewhere in my house. You can learn  more about doing family history at https://familysearch.org/ See you!
