Allie has completed quite a milestone in her life. Last week she was awarded her Personal Progress Award in the Young Women's Program of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. To attain this award, she needed to do 7 projects of at least 10 hours each, read, ponder and apply many scriptures to her life, often for a period of several weeks, and read the Book of Mormon for herself. It is a lot of work, and takes constant effort to accomplish. Not only was she able to do it, but she did it in less than two years. She set the goal to complete it before she was 14. There were some times filled with anxiety when she wasn't sure that she would be able to accomplish her goal, but she worked very hard and was able to finish. We are so proud of her! Since she still has 4 years as a young woman, she is going to work on it again, this time she is mentoring another girl who just entered the program. We hope that this journey will help to strengthen her testimony and lay a foundation for a successful life.
