1. PERSONAL
PROGRESS
A Tool to Facilitate Conversion

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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.

5. 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)

6. Conversion

small, righteous efforts to follow our Savior!?

9. Conversion
 Stephen’s last words were, “Lord, lay not this

they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34)
