Good Works 1

Learn why service is a fundamental principle of the gospel. Read Matthew 5:13–16; 25:34–40; Galatians 6:9–10; James 1:22–27; Mosiah 2:17; 4:26; and 3 Nephi 13:1–4. Others often give service you may not notice, such as preparing meals, reading to or listening to younger children, repairing clothing, or helping a brother or sister. For two weeks record in your journal the quiet acts of service your family members and others perform. Acknowledge their service in some meaningful way.

I remember a long time ago when I had first done this experience (am now redesigning) and I had just started using a new software. I was so excited that I made little cards to use, and you can print them out here - and write what you notice being done on each one. Slip them in the person's room, and the acts of service are acknowledged.

Here's a little preview of each one:

I did this experience before I even had the blog, and since I couldn't use my own worksheet, I tried something else. Each night, I would write what I had noticed, naming names, in a Note on my phone. Each one had emojis, of course. Once I was done, I shared them with my family. Everyone enjoyed hearing their names mentioned for a positive reason! While you may not do that or my worksheet, Personal Progress is totally all about doing what works for you.
