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.

Treasure Up Award
Gospel Diligence
Do you remember the sons of Mosiah? After being separated for years teaching the gospel to the Lamanites, they met again and were overjoyed because “they had searched the scriptures diligently, that they might know the word of god. But this is not all; they had given themselves to much prayer and fasting; therefore they had the spirit of prophesy and the spirit of revelation, and when they taught, they taught with power and authority of God.” This award if meant for you to choose a goal that will help you truly treasure up the words of God.
For example:
Memorize a set of scriptures word for word. Perhaps you could memorize some of the scriptures quoted in this guidebook.
Outline, and maybe even memorize one longer section of scripture. King Benjamin’s address, for example, or Alma’s discourse on faith, Mormon’s epistles to Moroni, Section 88 of the Doctrine and Covenants, or the far above rubies chapter in Proverbs.
Write an essay or talk about a gospel subject you are pondering.
