And the Spirit giveth light to every man that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit. And every one that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit cometh unto God, even the Father. D&C 84:46-47

The PoWeR Award
Prayer,
Writing, and
Reading Scriptures
The real desire of this goal is that you will develop a lifelong habit of reaching to God through daily communication. Taking time to pray each morning and evening, to express your thoughts in writing in your prayer journal, and reading from the scriptures will provide a strength in your life that cannot be described.
The goal is for you to do these three things for 180 days. Every day that you complete a perfect PWR day, mark off a box. If you miss a day, don’t skip a box, just mark the very next box the next day that you read. There is a 60 Day award, a 120 Day award, a 180 Day award, a 240 Day award, and (if you only miss 4 or less days between March 1st and February 28th of the next year) a 300 Day award. The 180 Day award is required to earn the Yearly Pebbles Award.

Education
Joseph Smith taught that we would spend the eternities learning new things. Brigham Young also taught that we would continue to progress in knowledge and understanding throughout all eternity. With that in mind, you shouldn’t find it very hard to find something that you don’t know much about and then to learn about it!
Set a goal that will help you to stretch and learn more about this world.
For Example:
Read five books from a list of classical literature.
Become current events savvy: Read up on the news regularly and study related terms and countries, etc.
Choose an era in history and make a study of it. You may decide to read a historical fiction or two to get you started, but then read some non-fiction and verify things.
Pick a subject that you would like to learn about: geology, biology, architecture, design, etc. and then read at least one book about it.
Start learning a new language.
Sign up for something at school that is optional, like a history or science fair, or a spelling bee.
