How is your mission statement coming? Asking questions is a great way to find your own personal mission and to create a blue print for your life. Have fun writing your answers to the following questions:

● Write three statements about yourself that you know are true. Begin each one, “I am ….”

● Choose a symbol that represents you. It might be a physical symbol like a mountain, or it might be an animal, or it might be a religious symbol. Why does this symbol represent you?

● Choose a color that represents you. Why does this color represent you?

● What are you really great at? What have people told you yo

u’re good at?

● What do you like to do to renew yourself physically and emotionally? What makes you feel like your battery is charged? Is it alone time, social time, exercise, casual discussion with friends, crying on someone’s shoulder, sleeping, reading, eating, playing?

READ: Acts 2:41-47 and Acts 4:31-37

April Memorization

Vanguard Mission Statement:

“We will engage in a respectful and inspiring peer environment that will not only help us grow in faith, but will help us feel free to develop our unique strengths. We will gain a passion for learning that will allow us to

better ourselves, our families, our communities and ultimately the world.”

D&C 88:78-80:

78 Teach ye diligently and my grace shall attend you, that you may be instructed more perfectly in theory, in principle, in doctrine, in the law of the gospel, in all things that pertain unto the kingdom of God, that are expedient for you to understand;

79 Of things both in heaven and in the earth, and under the earth; things which have been, things which are, things which must shortly come to pass; things which are at home, things which are abroad; the wars and the perplexities of the nations, and the judgments which are on the land; and a knowledge also of countries and of kingdoms—

80 That ye may be prepared in all things when I shall send you again to magnify the calling whereunto I have called you, and the mission with which I have commissioned you.
