An Introduction

Today in Relief Society, we were challenged to join with the young women in completing the Personal Progress project for the new value--virtue. I am going to take that challenge.

The virtue value project reads:

The Savior chose to live a virtuous life. Follow His admonition to "learn of me" (D&C 19:23) by reading the entire Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. Liken the scriptures to your life and circumstances. As you read, record your thoughts regularly in your journal. Note the example of the Savior's life and mission. What did the Redeemer and those who followed Him do to live virtuous lives? At the completion of your reading, record your testimony in your journal.

I started recording in my journal, but I may just end up recording everything on here. The posts will be short and simple, but I may add some thoughts at the end of each one. I will simply read the chapter and make note of virtuous qualities that I notice in the characters of the Book of Mormon. These were real people. As stated in a conversation between Garth and Jim in Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites:

"They really existed once, you know."
"Who?" Jim asked.
"Nephites," Garth replied. "Every character in the Book of Mormon ate, slept, died, and was buried."

They are real and I am excited to start studying their virtuous examples!
