mission accomplished

I have completed my good works value project. last friday I was able to babysit for free for family in my ward who were going to the temple. they have a 1 year old boy and a 4 year old girl. I babysat for 3 and a half hours. I babysat in the morning so I was watching the kids the entire time I was there. most of the time we played house (I was the kid). the hardest part was when we were eating lunch (noodles) and the little boy wouldn't let me feed hiom. eventually his sister had to help me feed him since he was scared of me or someting like that. but I have to say, I had a great time babysitting and the parents were very greatful they got to go to the temple before it closed.

Knowledge Value Experience 2

So I just finished another goal. in this goal I had to list i nmy journal talents that i have and talents i would like to have. then i had to read a scripture, Mathew 25: 14-30. Then I had to learn a new skill or talent that will help me learn and care for my family. So I decided, since I got a bunch of art supplies for christmas, that i would develop a painting skill. So I sat down one day, with my paint brush and pencil and a stack of paper, and painted my first good picture.
now I'm not going to lie. I am pretty good at drawing. But I've never been very good at realistic drawings or painting. so this was totally new for me.
I know you must be thinking "how is painting going to help her future family?" but it can help! if i enter my pieces in an art show i might win some money. and i can decorate my house with my paintings and drawings. so it can help. here are some of my pics.

My first post: Good Works Value Project

Hey I'm Sarah and this is my first blog. In case you're wondering what personal progress is, it's a booklet that the girls from ages 12 to... well they can continue to do it whenever. But it's given to the young womens in my church when they turn 12 and it's pretty much just a bung of goals for us to do so we can have high standards and become good women.
so my project for good works (which is one of the values in personal progress) is babysitting for free when ever a family needs a babysitter and they're going to a church related activity. So to complete this value project I have to babysit for free for 10 hours.
So far I have 6 1/2 hours. so I'm almost finnished. But this goal is to teach me service and to tell you the truth, even though baysitting is loads of fun, it's pretty hard.
so I will be posting next whenever I start my next goal or babysit again.
thanks for reading!
