Faith project ideas??
I think you should focus on the idea of experimenting upon the word - picking a principle, studying it really thoroughly, trying to REALLY live it 100% for an extended period, reflecting on what it is you tried/learned/believe now, and then teaching the principle to others, accompanied by your testimony.
The thing is, each principle of the gospel would get you a totally different set of things to do in order to live it.
I strongly suggest that if you do this, you work REALLY hard on the “studying it thoroughly” part. Read a bunch of scriptures, read a bunch of BYU Speeches and General Conference talks and maybe even read some books from General Authorities and other trustworthy leaders (either through the library or bought used.)
Also try to teach it in several different ways - give a talk in YW, write out a lesson to share here on Tumblr, maybe make some worksheets or resources lists, do an FHE presentation, etc.
(This is basically a super-charged version of experience #3.)
Well, I am just ONE PROJECT away from earning my Young Women’s medallion, and the only project I haven’t completed is faith… I need help with ideas!! What have you guys done? I have googled ideas, but nothing really strikes me. Can you help me think of some ideas? :)

The essential doctrine of agency requires that a testimony of the restored gospel be based on faith rather than just external or scientific proof.
“Be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you.” — Doctrine and Covenants 68:6
Don’t limit yourself and don’t let others convince you that you are limited in what you can do. Believe in yourself and then live so as to reach your possibilities. You can achieve what you believe you can. Trust and believe and have faith.

The restored gospel of Jesus Christ is a way of life. It is not for Sunday only. It is not something we can do only as a habit or a tradition if we expect to harvest all of its promised blessings. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Galatians 6:7).

I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity.
