March's Personal Progress Value is
Individual Worth

Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God (D&C 18:10).
Do you know how much are Heavenly Father loves you?

You will not comprehend how much he does in this life but in the next. Heavenly Father is mindful of your needs, wants, desires, wishes, and dreams. He will always be there with you no matter where you are and what you are doing.

If Heavenly Father loves you he must love your sisters. Who are your sisters?
Those that walk, don’t walk, those who talk, and don’t talk, and even those who don’t make good choices. Heavenly Father has entrusted to you to take care of your sisters. EVERY sister is in need of our love. Try to help those sisters who aren’t feeling good about them selves to be ensured that they are cared for and loved. Anytime I find myself not loving another sister I sing to myself, “How can I judge when I walk imperfectly?” A good reminder that we are all here for the same purpose and that is to love those around us. Oh and have FUN while doing it!

Now go hug someone so they feel LOVED & know YOU are LOVED.

Love, Sister Jolley

Quote of the Week

“The standard is clear. If something we think, see, hear, or do distances us from the Holy Ghost, then we should stop thinking, seeing, hearing, or doing that thing. If that which is intended to entertain, for example, alienates us from the Holy Spirit, then certainly that type of entertainment is not for us. Because the Spirit cannot abide that which is vulgar, crude, or immodest, then clearly such things are not for us. Because we estrange the Spirit of the Lord when we engage in activities we know we should shun, then such things definitely are not for us. …"

Elder David A. Bednar

From the April 2006 general conference address “That We May Always Have His Spirit to Be with Us.”

Repentance

“By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins—behold, he will confess them and forsake them” (D&C 58:43).

The Savior suffered for our sins and gave His life for us. This great sacrifice is called the Atonement. Through the Atonement, you can receive forgiveness and be cleansed from your sins when you repent. Repentance is more than simply acknowledging wrongdoings. It is a change of mind and heart. It includes turning away from sin and turning to God for forgiveness. It is motivated by love for God and the sincere desire to obey His commandments.

Satan wants you to think that you cannot repent, but that is absolutely not true. The Savior has promised you forgiveness if you will humble yourself and make the effort that repentance requires. If you have sinned, the sooner you repent, the sooner you begin to make your way back and find the peace and joy that come with forgiveness. If you delay repentance, you may lose blessings, opportunities, and spiritual guidance. You may also become further entangled in sinful behavior, making it more difficult to find your way back.

To repent, you need to confess your sins to the Lord. Then seek forgiveness from those you have wronged, and restore as far as possible what has been damaged by your actions. As you strive to repent, seek help and counsel from your parents. Serious sins, such as sexual transgression or use of pornography, need to be confessed to your bishop. Be completely honest with him. He will help you repent. If you have a question about what should be discussed with the bishop, talk with your parents or with him.

When you do what is necessary to repent and receive forgiveness, you will know for yourself the power of the Atonement and the love God has for you. You will feel the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ, which will bring you great strength, and you will become more like Him.

How can you bring the power of the Atonement into your life?
