Kristie earned her Young Womanhood Award on her 16th birthday:) Her youth group, had a special night honoring her and celebrating her accomplishment. Both sets of grandparents came to celebrate too! What a treat! In our church Young Women group, there is a program called Personal Progress which includes 7 values. (Faith, Divine Nature, Individual Worth, Knowledge, Choice & Accountability, Good Works and Integrity). There are 6 required experiences they do for each value and then a 10 hour service project for each value. Also, through the program the girls establish great habits like daily scripture reading, daily prayer and journaling. The young women can begin the program at age 12 and they have until they are 18 to finish it. When you complete the program, you get your Young Womanhood Award. Kristie always wanted to finish by age 16 and she did it!! We are so proud of her! The Sunday after she finished, she learned that there has been a new value added to the program. It is Virtue. Now she has another value to work on! ~Teri
