Pursuit of Excellence Achievement

During the month of February we have been working on the value of Faith.  We hope you have chosen at least one goal to work on, if you are feeling like you need more of a challenge, then by all means choose more goals.

We want to continue to encourage you to be reading daily in the Book of Mormon and to check it off in your Pursuit of Excellence booklet.

Also, don't forget the Walk to the Temple Challenge, which is a way to achieve some physical activity goals as well.

If you complete your goals, we have a small token to show your achievement.  We have painted wooden hearts that can be strung on a necklace.  Each color represents one of the eight values we will be working on this year.  Remember that this month the value is Faith and the color is white.  The necklace hearts will be given to those that accomplished their Faith goal(s) and it is on the honor system.  We don't ask you to report it to us.

Donna Dorough is our beautiful model with the necklace shown.

Pursuit of Excellence 2013

Did you really take the time on Sunday afternoon to look at the booklet that was passed out to all RS women that attended church on Sunday?  We will be focusing on truly being converted.  The Pursuit of Excellence booklet is to help us do that.

There is an introduction in the front of the booklet about what we want to accomplish.  We also have two challenges.  Read the entire Book of Mormon this year, and we gave you two charts you can track your progress on.  The second challenge is an easy fitness challenge we call A Walk to the Temple. For every 10 minutes of physical activity (and this can be different for each individual) you can check off a box.

Each month in our RS Additional Meetings held on the third Thursday of the month, we will continue to focus on the theme for that month as outlined in the Pursuit of Excellence booklet.  We will be reviewing the Young Women Values as well as some other great goal setting ideas to help you continue to be converted unto the Lord.  So keep your Pursuit of Excellence booklet handy and make some goals that are personal to you to help you become more converted.
