Please feel free to return to this document often and make necessary adjustments and changes as you feel prompted. Project Plan Before writing your plan:  Ponder what Elder Kim B. Clark (“ Eyes to See and Ears to Hear ,” October 2015) has taught at General Conference: “Whatever level of spirituality or faith or obedience we now have, it will not be sufficient for the work that lies ahead. We need greater spiritual light and power. We need eyes to see more clearly the Savior working in our lives and ears to hear His voice more deeply in our hearts. This marvelous blessing comes when we open our hearts and receive, truly receive, the Lord Jesus Christ, His doctrine, and His Church into our lives. We do not have to be perfect, but we need to be good and getting better . We need to strive to live the plain and simple truths of the gospel.” Elder Clark encourages those seeking to be good at getting better and to regularly ask ourselves two questions: a) What am I doing that I should stop doing? b) What am I not doing that I should start doing?" (CES Fireside, August 2015)  Watch or Read following: o Elder Larry Lawrence, What Lack I Yet ? Ensign , October 2015 o View LDS Media: What Lack I Yet? Now spend some time reflecting on gospel principles/doctrines taught about Christ and being a disciple of Christ. Next, prayerfully identify and share one area of discipleship you would like to make progress on. Remember, you will be focused on improving yourself in this one area for the rest of the semester. Write a 300- to 400-word project plan answering the following questions: 1. Describe the area of discipleship that you want to improve in your life and what caused you to desire to work on this area in your life at this time. Share a doctrine or principle that inspires you to improve in this area and where it is found in the scriptures or Church publications. 2. Set a goal and specifically describe the steps you will take to develop the attribute you have chosen and apply the doctrine or principle to your life over the next several weeks. 3. Identify any anticipated challenges , and explain what you will do to overcome them. 4. Explain how you will keep a personal record or journal of your progress over the coming weeks. 1. I have chosen to focus on developing charity in my life as a disciple of Christ. This desire stems from recognizing the paramount importance of charity in Christ's teachings. The doctrine of charity is vividly emphasized in Moroni 7:47-48, where it states that "whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him." This principle resonates deeply with me, as it underscores the ultimate significance of love and selflessness in our journey towards becoming like Christ. 2. To actively demonstrate charity in my interactions with others, both in my family and in my community.
