If you've every been in a Young Women's meeting or activity, you have a sense of how impressive it is to hear a group of Young Women recite the Young Women Theme.
Back in the days of scripture masteries a couple of years ago, how could I ever forget the day I passed off Joseph Smith-History 1:15-20? It's nice just having doctrinal masteries in seminary now, more focus on DOCTRINE and WHERE TO FIND THE VERSE rather than mechanical repetition of every word.
I was one of those people for whom that approach worked very well. Rote repetition was something I found to be incredible fun. I got to know the doctrine because I had repeated it over and over to remember it. I don’t know how I’d do in the new program, but I do hope scripture mastery is still something that will be encouraged, even if it’s not required for passing.
I’m also inactive. But the Gospel is my life. I guess you could say I’m active in one way. Just because I struggle to make it to Church doesn’t mean I’m not trying to keep the commandments.
I remember complaining about how long Article of Faith #13 was. Somehow, I did memorize it.

DeleteAlthough my daughter is inactive at the moment, it's amazing how well she still keeps to these principles.
