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.

Family History
The book of Hebrews records that without us, our ancestors could not be made perfect, and without them, we cannot be made perfect. It is an important aspect of the gospel that we research our own family histories. Choose a goal that will contribute to your family history collection.
.
Some Examples:
Take a genealogy class and begin a genealogy folder.
Look up the Church’s family history website and learn about how you can do your own genealogy.
Read a biography or history about one of your ancestors. Record at least three qualities about that person that you want to emulate.
Take a tour of the Church’s genealogy library in Salt Lake.
Interview a grandparent and record his or her answers. Record at least three qualities about that person that you want to emulate.
Interview a grandparent with a recording device. Find out about stories that they have not recorded in their journals and ask them to tell you about those stories. Then, type up the story and give it to family members as a gift.
Put together a photo album.
Write your own family history.
