One of the ways that we reach out and fellowship other women in the (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) congregation is through visiting teaching. Every woman has designated visiting teachers (usually two, in a companionship) who visit or call regularly, ideally at least once a month. This inspired program links each woman to other women in her congregation. It can create friendships, provide opportunities to serve, and help everyone involved learn about and grow closer to our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Personal Progress is an achievement program designed to help young women ages 12-18 strengthen their testimonies of Jesus Christ, strengthen both their present and future families, prepare to be worthy to make and keep sacred temple covenants, and to prepare for their future roles and responsibilities. There are eight values for which experiences and projects are completed: Faith, Divine Nature, Individual Worth, Knowledge, Choice and Accountability, Good Works, Integrity and Virtue.
This is how I am sharing my proclamation book with the sisters I visit teach: I put an empty photo album in the front pocket of a folder, and the printed transparencies in the back. In the center section I placed an empty page protector to collect the necessary photos, along with a checklist to help acquire and organize the photos. You can download the checklist here.
IRMA AMEI SUAS DICAS. TODOS OS MESES EU FICO ESPERANDO SUAS IDÉIAS QUE TEM SIDO UMA FONTE DE INSPIRAÇÃO. É UMA PENA QUE OS ARQUIVOS SEJAM EM INGLÊS, MAS TAMBÉM UM DESAFIO PARA MIM.

I love this idea! I am totally going to do this for my sisters this month! Thank you for the idea and the step by step instructions!!

I was looking through your old posts and really enjoying all of your creative ideas but one of your links goes to a porn site (which I'm assuming is not something you are OK with) It's in the Friday, Feb 27th 2009 post on the "her website" link. You may want to repair the link or take it off of your site. Thanks for all your hard work and fabulous ideas.
Wow – Thanks so much for alerting me to the bad link. It is now deleted!
Love this idea! I copied the blog post to help them get more instructions – incase I don't come across clearly. I'm excited to do this with my kids for Jesus the Christ, too! I read a story in the Ensign that a woman did the same basic thing with Jesus the Christ. Thank you for all you do. You are amazing at it and am so grateful for YOUR creativity!
I took six of these to my twice-yearly girlfriends' retreat as presents for the other ladies. I made my album while I was there, and then gave them their kits. They all LOVED them. Thanks so much for your generous sharing…
Thank you for this great idea! It is so nice when people are willing to share! We are having a Relief Society Activity this month and making these photo albums. We had a sign up and are charging $2.00 just to cover cost. Our count is at 75 and growing! So it is a huge hit in our ward. Thanks again!
Thanks, this is a terrific idea. I think we will do this activity in Relief Society.
I can not bring up the templates like I did previously on this site. HELP
I was planning on using the idea in a Super Saturday and have several orders.
I would also love to do this project…but I cannot pull up the format to print the transparencies. Can you help?!!
