PERSONAL PROGRESS
A Tool to Facilitate Conversion
Why Personal Progress?
“The living prophets of God have clearly communicated to you what is of greatest eternal worth. They have clearly indicated that “families are central to God’s plan…Everything in the Personal Progress program leads you to the holy temples.”-Elder Shayne M. Bowen
Why Personal Progress?
“Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.” Alma 37:6
Why Personal Progress
Personal Progress gives young women opportunities in their daily lives to seek a testimony of Gospel truths and principles.
The small and simple things that your daughter does to complete value experiences will lead to conversion.
Conversion
Conversion includes a change in behavior, but it goes beyond behavior; it is a change in our very nature.(lds.org)
Conversion is a process, not an event. Conversion comes as a result of righteous efforts to follow the Savior.(lds.org)
Conversion
Hold the Phone! Aren’t value experiences small, righteous efforts to follow our Savior!?

Conversion
Stephen’s last words were, “Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.” (Acts 7:60).
