Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
I’m super excited to unveil my latest project (albeit almost a week late). I was super excited by Sister Marriott’s talk at the General Women’s Conference, and I’ve been anxious for Christmas since December 26th. The combination of those two things in…
By [email protected] (Sheena Perron) A few weeks ago as I was grocery shopping (down the candy aisle) I had an idea for a Personal Progress incentive. Have you ever tried ‘Riesens’? If not, they are delicious…just saying. This incentive that I am sharing today shares different reasons why Personal Progress is important and why we need to do it. I began by (eating the first entire bag of Riesens) thinking…

By Kristin We are trying to encourage the young women in our ward who have completed, or are near completion of Personal Progress, to mentor others. I wanted to give our young mentors some training, to learn how to mentor well. This document will help them to understand basic principles of mentorship: developing a relationship of trust, making goals, listening, following up, and celebrating successes! They can also use it…

I don’t know what it is with me and BINGO and General Conference, but for as long as I can remember all three have been associated with each other. It started out as a way for me to pay attention, but now with maturity and a longer attention span, I’v…
By [email protected] (Sheena Perron) I am always on the look-out for new ways to get the YW excited to do Personal Progress. One day while we were at the grocery store I saw a pack of UP2U gum and had an idea for a Personal Progress treat. I created this little handout that you can tape to a pack of UP2U gum to encourage the YW to keep working on…

The upcoming 2015 Youth theme was recently (unofficially) announced, and it’s found in one of my favorite chapters of the Doctrine & Covenants.
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 don’t know about you, but I’m super excited about this theme! It seems like the themes they choose sort of build on each other, going from Stand in Holy Places, to Come Unto Christ, and now Embark in the Service of God. To first focus on building and strengthening yourself, and now putting the emphasis on building and serving others. That’s a huge pattern in this Gospel, and things like Personal Progress testify of the power in this pattern.
NEW! (10/20/14) At popular request I’ve created additional Youth Theme posters keeping with the same styles as before. The first style is now readily available in six color schemes, in one easily downloaded PDF. I also have the 2000 x 2500 JPG files for each poster, if that’s a preferable file type for printing. I will continue to provide custom colored posters upon request.
The second style I have is a variation on one I had available previously. The text has remained more or less the same, but the background is now a simple chevron instead of the wave pattern done previously. There are two different types of this theme available now. Upon hearing the comments of several, I’ve done one where the A in EMBARK is replaced with the sailboat art. Both types are available in four different styles, with differently shaded backdrops, and one without the chevron. Likewise, I will be offering this second style in custom colors upon request, and they are available as both PDF and JPG files.
Many have asked about ordering these posters. I am not selling any of these posters—they are 100% free! My job is only to create the files. If you want a physical poster, you would need to take it to a printing store (OfficeMax, Costco, Staples, Office Depot, Kinkos, etc.) and have them print it for you (or if you have a good home printer and want a stand 8.5 x 11). They are can be printed in good quality up to 20 x 25 inches.
To download the PDF, click on the large image above in the corresponding theme, and for JPG click on the individual thumbnails directly below.
Anyway, on to the fun stuff! Inspired by this theme, I’ve thrown together several posters.
I personally think they’re super cute, especially the last one! I will actually be offering to do the first one in custom colors—just email me at [email protected].
I really hope these are useful! I may be uploading more depending on my time and creative energy, and if you have any questions of suggestions, leave them in the comments.

The only thing was I wasn’t sure how to incorporate S’mores into Personal Progress.I decided to look through my Personal Progress booklet and read through the experiences to see if I could come up with something.As I read Integrity #1 I had an idea!“Integrity is the willingness and desire…

I have a complicated relationship with Seminary. I love studying the gospel as a group every single day, but I don’t like the waking up at 5:00 every morning and sitting in heavy traffic. Somehow, though, I’ve survived it so far. That being said, I l…
