III. INTELLIGENCE: Now apply what
you have learned into a project. Select
from one of the following or choose your own!
*Ponder about this quote from Glayds
Aylward:
“I wasn't God's first choice for
what I've done for China.... I don't know who it was... It must have been a
man.... a well-educated man. I don't know what happened. Perhaps he died.
Perhaps he wasn't willing... and God looked down... and saw Gladys Aylward....
And God said, “Well, she's willing.' ”
Have you had a time in your life
when you thought that you were not the one who was “meant” to do something, but knew it was something you
had to do! Journal about that time in your life, and show it to your parent or
running partner.
*Have you been inspired to teach the
gospel to others, and had to do something difficult to spread the gospel? Maybe
you didn't have to travel to foreign lands, but had to do “foreign” things?
Journal about that experience and remember the difficult times or situations,
along with the beneficial times and situations. Show it to your parent or
running partner.
*Teach a FHE about Glayds Aylward and/or her initiative
and/or the other characteristics you feel describe her to your family.
