Personal Progress is Sweet
Credit Unknown

My counselor did a GREAT object
lesson on Personal Progress. She had two
containers of equal size, and a Kool-Aid packet. She said each container
represented a young woman. She then asked the girls all they need to do to
live the gospel...scripture study, prayer, etc. (all the standard answers). As
they named each item, she poured a little Kool-Aid into each container, so
that it was even between the two. Both "young women" were
doing all these things. Then she brought out a small bag with sugar in it.
She said this represents Personal Progress. The difference between the two
girls was that one was doing Personal Progress and one was not. She poured
the sugar in one of the containers and shook it up, and asked how each
container would taste. Her whole point was that Personal Progress was the
"sweetness" - the final ingredient to make everything blend together. She
mentioned that no, you don't need to do Personal Progress to attend the temple, that it was
not one of the questions in a temple recommend interview, but that it can
add something to your life, and it's what God wants his Young Women to do
right now.
