It was really neat to think that the youth would
have the opportunity to figure out
what it means to have the Spirit speak to them
and that the Lord knows them and will guide them
on their individual journeys and their goals
into achieving their fullest potential.
Everybody has their own talents, and their own strengths,
and their weaknesses, and I think
that this new program definitely helps
highlight their strengths.
And it's cool to be able to see those strengths become
even stronger and being able to share that with other people.
The kids learn how to set their goals
to see what they're going to do for themselves
and how it's going to apply in life,
and I think that's going to be the biggest benefit long term.
Since this program was introduced,
I see the children more interested
in reading their scriptures.
It makes them more spiritual, and they're
doing more better than before.
Because it's not only about learning the things
in the scriptures, but now they are
putting practical aspect of it and joining together.
It has given us opportunity to draw closer to God,
and it has really bonded us together.
I think, by working with these goals as a family unit,
it helps us draw closer together by praying morning and night
as a family to mention the goals in our family prayer.
He strengthens our family and allows
us to have this time together.
And it seems like more time has become available for us
to spend time with each other.

I feel like the personal revelation
has helped him with the long-term endurance
of this goal.
It's still hard, and he's still sore.
And even today, he came home and was like, "I'm so tired."
And personal revelation has given him
the ability to keep going even though it's hard.

When we let them have the power to influence what they're
doing, their confidence grows and they become a strength
and very, very powerful in their influence as youth.
It has been neat to see Ashley develop her ability
to recognize the Holy Ghost through this process.
And she is developing a sense of what she wants out of life
and who she is, and it's made her powerful.
And there's no end to what the Lord has for us.
Eternal life is without end, and He's
going to give you even more to accomplish or to grow into.
