There were several quotes from President Lorenzo Snow in yesterday's lesson that I love and appreciate for the gentle (or not so gentle) reminder of who I am and what is expected of me. This one in particular was summed up very nicely yesterday in the above statement. "Let all, therefore, be encouraged, and seek to improve the talents
they severally possess; and let him who may have the one talent use it and not
hide it in the earth; that is, let him who may be endowed with little ability
improve himself..." Let's bloom together.

Do you remember the Personal Progress challenge issued to us by the Young Women? We were promised a dinner served by them if we complete more Value experiences and/or projects than they do. You can access an online Personal Progress manual here and by signing into your www.lds.org account you can keep track of your progress. The experiences are pretty easy but something we all need to work on at different times in our lives. I encourage you to check it out. If you're working on and completing the experiences contact Christine S. She will is weekly and monthly drawings for those working towards this goal.
