HOW TO USE THIS PLANNER FORM:
This fun goal tracker is a perfect motivator for YOUTH: “My Faith Grows as I Learn from Scriptures and Living Prophets.” They simply: 1) Search and ponder the scriptures. 2) Read two General Conference talks on faith and note how they relate to them. 3) Exercise faith by praying morning and evening daily for three weeks.
Download includes goal tracker in Color or Black & White. It is fun for the YOUTH to color in the Black & White version as they complete their goal. Or, reward them with the color version once the goal is completed to re-enter their notes to place in a MEMORY SCRAPBOOK.
Create another goal. The goal border can also be cut out and pasted on a blank page to create their own goal, e.g. with the SUNFLOWERS border they could have a goal to follow Jesus like the sunflowers that “face the sun,” we too can “face the Son of God” following Jesus.
