Personal Progress
Ok so one of the things i decided to put on this blog was a Personal Progress schedule. There will be one value per month, but this time the value goes through two months since it wasn't started until the middle of June. For June and July the value is Faith. The Personal Progress "schedule" will 'guide' you through all of the experiences and give you ideas for the value project. I hope this helps you guys!

"Learn about faith from the scriptures and living prophets. Read Hebrews 11, Alma 32:17-42, Ether 12:6-22, and Joseph Smith History 1:1-20. Read two general conference talks on faith.

Faith Value Experience #3-Required
Faith Value Experience #3~
"Living gospel principles requires faith. Choose a principle such as prayer, tithing, fasting, repentance, or keeping the Sabbath day holy. In your own home or another setting , plan and present a family home evening lesson about how faith helps you live that gospel principle. If possible, ask a family member to share an experience as well. In your journal write down one of those experiences and describe your feelings about faith."
This would be a great one to use June's Family Home Evening Lesson on!

How can I make Immodest things Modest? Half*Tees!
I don’t know if I am the only one who thinks this, but it seems that a lot of the cute shirts that we see in stores and malls now-a-days are tank tops! We all want to wear those cute shirts, and we need to make them modest, but we don’t want to wear another shirt underneath while we are out in the hot summer sun. There is one other option though, It's Half*Tees! They come in cap-sleeve and long-sleeve in four basic neutral colors- White, Black, Brown and Cream. You can find them at the Sister Missionary Mall and at the kiosk outside Victoria’s Secret and Down East in the University Mall. The cap-sleeve ones are $13.99 and the long-sleeve ones are $15.99. Check out the pictures of them too!
June's FHE Idea~My Sabbath Day Activities Jar
This month's FHE Idea is the 'My Sabbath Day Activities' Jar. It is a fun, creative and meaningful craft project. Here are the things you will need-*1 jar for every member of your family (tin cans and canning jars work great)*Tape/hot glue/adhesive dots*A few pieces of card stock*Markers*Some plain paper cut into rectangles about 2"x3" (computer paper, solid colors, ect.)*ScissorsOnce you have all the items you need, give everyone their jar, a pair of scissors, a marker, and some card stock. Cut the card stock to fit the front of the jar, (into a rectangle for a lable) and write "My Sabbath Day Activities" on it. Hot Glue or Tape it to the jar. Now get the plain paper that you have cut into strips and hand them out to each member of the family. (10-15 each) Have them write an activity that they would enjoy doing on the Sabbath Day on the slips of paper, front and back. Some examples might be- Watch a movie with my family, Work on Personal Progress, Read my scriptures/New Era, Write a letter to a Missionary, Go on a bike ride, Play a game as a family, Do service for someone elderly or in need, Write in my journal and Color.All of these things would be great ideas, as well as anything else that would invite the spirit to be with you and your family on the Sabbath day.Once they are all finished, put them inside your jar and keep it in an open spot, such as on your dresser, and when you are out of ideas for Sunday, draw a slip out and work on it!
