We wanted to emphasize the importance of setting goals. While they have goals they need to set in order to get their Faith in God Award, for the most part if they come to the activities they will pass most of them off. We felt that we needed to prepare them for bigger future challenges as well as all the goals they will have to work on their own once they get to the Young Women's program. We actually had the Laurel class come and help us with this activity. We talked about setting big long term goals and then setting smaller goals to work toward reaching the big one. We talked about the kind of person they want to become and how to set goals to become that person. Afterwards we did kind of a time capsule activity. I had the girls fill out a questionnaire about who they are right now. Link to the questionnaire is here:

I then had them write down 3 goals they want to have achieved in the next 5 years. I then had them write letters to their future selves. I took all of these and put them in envelopes for each of the girls to be opened 5 years from now.
