I made it to have two sides— The picture diagram being the front, and the scripture references to be the back. Feel free to use for the…

This table lists the Personal Progress Value experiences and projects that correlate with the monthly “Come Follow Me” lessons for 2013. Using this will make it easier for young women to complete personal progress experiences that relate to subjects already being discussed in Sunday School and Young Women’s lessons.
This lesson helps the young women to learn to build each other up and to look for the best in each other. This is a fun lesson/activity that could be used to teach leadership skills to the entire group of young women together on a mutual night. We also used it for our Stake Leadership training. You could also adapt it to New Beginnings. Edit 4/11/2016 – A user…
