Back to the Basics

So I've finally come to the conclusion that I really need to keep a study journal again for my personal study!  I just started teaching at the MTC last week so I figure it's the best time.  :)  Yesterday, I taught a lesson on scripture study in YW.  I felt the Spirit strongly as I testified and invited the girls to follow through with their commitment to do personal study each day for the amount of time they set.

Here are some things I want to do in this journal:

• I want to study Preach My Gospel again as there is still much to learn and it's been a while since the mission days!  It says, "The purpose of personal study is to strengthen your knowledge and testimony of the restored gospel and help you prepare to meet the needs of those you teach. . . . use a study journal to help you undersatnd, clarify, and remember what you are learning." (viii-x) 
• I also want to go through the YW Personal Progress program again.  It's changed so much since I was in YWs!  Besides, there are some cute ribbons and stickers I want to earn.  :)
• I want to learn more about Christ through the Topical Guide.
• I want to learn more about my patriarchal blessing by looking up key terms and related scriptures.

So far, so good!
