Where do the youth of the church get their strength from? Where do they receive the courage and will to push through all the crud of the world, and repel the fiery darts of Satan? How do they do it? Where does this extreme amount of spiritual strength, commitment, and courage come from? For young women, it comes through the personal progress program. The personal progress program is a part of the young women's program, in fact, it is the structure. The personal progress program strengthens us and our testimonies by providing hundreds of experiences that bring us closer to Heavenly Father. The Personal Progress Program consists of 8 values. They are faith, divine nature, individual worth, knowledge, choice and accountability, good works, integrity, and virtue. For each value experience there is a project that needs ten hours at the VERY LEAST! The Personal Progress Program takes at least 180 hours to complete if you do it fast. It usually takes at least 300-600 hours. The Personal Progress program is the equivalent of an Eagle Scout project for a young man. These activities increase our relationship with God, and this increases our strength in the Gospel so much. Through our strength, we can be strong enough to resist all temptation. For example, sex before marriage, drugs, smoking, drinking, etc. These things are an abomination in my sight.
Another thing that helps us be strong is a pamphlet released by the church titled For The Strength Of Youth. This book lists many of our values and lists why it is important to stay strong and steadfast to these principals. We are instructed to carry it with us at all times.
That's What I'm Talkin' 'bout!!!
Then there's stuff for the strength of young men, like duty to God. I don't know very much at all about the Young Men Program, so I'll just put some pictures in:
DINGBAT OUT!!!!
