Week 3

Individual Worth #4:
You are preparing now to fulfill a unique mission on the earth. Read Doctrine and Covenants 88:119. In your journal make a list of your hopes and dreams for your future home, family, and education and some important things you would like to accomplish in your life, including becoming a wife and mother. Then write a plan that will help you achieve your goals. Share this plan with a family member, leader, or friend.
My journal:
I feel like I have already attained a lot of my hopes and dreams. It has always been my hope to be a wife and a mother. I was able to find the man of my dreams and marry him in the temple over 5 years ago. I was also able to have my first baby almost two years ago, and I am expecting another one. I feel like there have been many many bumps along the road, but I have appreciated knowing that Heavenly Father has always been very mindful of me and of my challenges, and has helped me along the way.  

Knowledge #6:
Memorize two of your favorite hymns from the hymnbook. Learn the correct conducting pattern for the hymns (see Hymns, 383–85) and then conduct them at least two times at a family home evening, in a Young Women or other Church meeting, or at seminary. Read the scriptures listed at the bottom of each hymn.

My journal (I know it didn't ask for one, but here it is):

My two FAVORITE hymns. . . that is hard to choose
One would have to be hymn #19 . . . We Thank Thee Oh God For A Prophet.
I love this one because I remember a story told to me when I was younger about how President Hunter was speaking to a crowd, and a crazy person walked in and threatened to shoot him or something like that. The entire congregation started singing the hymn, and it immediately calmed him down and he was able to contain himself and the guards were able to take him away.
The other one is hymn #124 . . . Be Still My Soul
I love this hymn because it seems to be a lot of my life. A lot of times in my life, I have had to just reassure myself that everything is going to be okay. I know that God is watching over me every step of the way. 

I also read the scriptures at the end of each one.  I feel like I have conducted a lot of times (it used to be my calling), so I pretty much have that under control. 

Book of Mormon reading:
I did it!  I love the end of 2nd Nephi.  Enos is also one of my favorite books.  I love the Book of Mormon!
