Further due to Rachel's influence, William Farnsworth (1807-1888), after the Great Disappointment of October 22, 1844, stated publicly to the "Christian Brethren" congregation his conviction that Saturday, being the seventh day of the week, was Sabbath. His brother Cyrus (who became the husband of Rachel’s daughter Delight), and several others, also made their convictions known.

He wrote poems and articles that were printed in the Review & Herald and in 1853 joined his sister, Annie, as a worker at the office of the Advent Review and Sabbath Herald in Rochester, New York. He was one of the most fluent writers for the young denomination. His pen could be incisive. He is best known for the book Daniel and Revelation. In 1874 he patented a school desk with an improved folding seat. The last words he ever wrote, in 1903, to the General Conference epitomized his lifelong purpose: “I am with you in the endeavor to send forth in this generation this gospel of the kingdom, for a witness to all nations. And when this is completed, it will be the signal for the coronation of our Coming King.

In 1894 he was called to South America and became the first ordained SDA minister assigned to the South America Continent. He worked with success in Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil and Chili.

===s. Frederick Wheeler===
Frederick Wheeler (1811-1910) was a pioneer Adventist minister, reputed to be the first ordained Adventist minister to preach in favor of the seventh-day Sabbath. In 1840 he was an ordained minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church and became its circuit rider in the vicinity of Washington and Hillsboro in New Hampshire. In 1842 he became acquainted with the Millerite views and was active in the propagation of the Adventist views. In March of 1844, after a discussion with Rachel Oakes (later Preston), he became convinced through study that the seventh-day Sabbath was sacred. He preached and farmed in the neighborhood until James White invited him to go farther afield with his ministry.

===t. James White===
[[File:James Springer White.jpg|thumb|James White]]
James Springer White (1821-1881), a co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, was the fifth of nine children. He was baptized, at age 15, in the denomination called Christian Connection to which his parents belonged. After teaching for two winters he heard of the Millerite Movement and was persuaded to attend a meeting. He became convinced of the importance of what he had heard and of the shortness of time. He resigned from his school to join in heralding the Advent message. He suffered keenly during the Great Disappointment in
October 1844, but he clung in confidence to God’s Word. He married Ellen Gould Harman on August 30, 1846 and soon after, the two of them began to keep the seventh-day Sabbath. He wrote encouragement to the believers and worked to spread the gospel of Jesus' soon coming until his death in 1881.

''There is no definition as to what "an official Adventist Heritage site" is, unless the requirement authors mean operated by Adventist Heritage Ministry operated sites, which are located in only 4 US states, which raises the question why the requirement specifies that the site be within your conference, union or division, placing accomplishing a visit outside the reach of Pathfinders in most of the world divisions. So use common sense and select a site linked to Adventist Heritage in your region.''

==Introduction==
Hope I am doing this right! Wanted to introduce myself to you all. My name is Alyssa and I have utilized this resource a lot in the last year. I am passionate about Pathfinders and helping our kids and today decided to sign up so I could actually help and participate and give back as a thank you. Looking forward to contributing as I can :) Loved Oshkosh and all the honors we earned there and can't wait for the start of a new year [[User:ScrappinAly|ScrappinAly]] 20:49, 30 August 2014 (EDT)scrappinaly

==New South American Division Honors==

Hello, everyone. I'm not sure how many here really follow other divisions, but the South American Division approved several new honors and have manuals out in Portuguese and in Spanish. Are there any plans to incorporate them here? I do lots of translation work and would be available to contribute the requirements into English.

If needed, I can post a link to their new honor manuals, which include all of their requirements. [[User:W126jep|W126jep]] 15:49, 29 July 2014 (EDT)

:The GC just approved eight honors (some from the SAD, some from other divisions). If you would like to add the SAD honors, that would be a good thing. If you need help formatting them, I can do that, though it's not that hard. Thanks! --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 22:50, 29 July 2014 (EDT)

:Perhaps a greater need would be translating the Answer Book into Spanish? If you're interested, I'd like to explorer that. We'd want to see how Wikipedia sets up multiple languages and follow their lead. I'd also want to get the NAD to buy into this (if they've already set something in motion, we would not want to duplicate the effort). --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 23:00, 29 July 2014 (EDT)

::That was actually one of the goals I had in mind for the Answer Book. The NAD provides an Honors Manual in Spanish, which I have a copy of. I wouldn't have to translate myself the requirements (except for the newer honors for the past 3 or so years). I could work on translating the answers or finding equivalents in Spanish. I would probably need some help, though, with formatting. Check with the NAD and let me know if we can get started on this. [[User:W126jep|w126jep]] 08:35, 30 July 2014 (EDT)

:::If the NAD has official requirements in Spanish, I think we can proceed with setting things up here for the answers. I'll dig into how to do a multi-language wiki when I get time, but with Oshkosh coming fast, I don't know that I'll have much of that in the next couple of weeks. I have already put the question to one of the NAD guys, but he was a champion of the wiki in the first place. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 15:15, 30 July 2014 (EDT)

==Outdoor Industries==

After a push on these Honors we are down to three incomplete honors, with about 11 total questions to still answer. We should keep plugging away at the remaining tough questions so we can put the whole category to 100% soon! Jomegat, (and anyone else) you want to look over the honors in this category and double check them for reasonableness and completeness? [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 16:22, 15 April 2014 (EDT)
:I have been checking, and I like what you've done so far. Thanks! --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 18:43, 15 April 2014 (EDT)

==Outreach==

These honors are getting close to finished too. I brought all 9 ADRA honors back into the navigation system and have nearly finished off the ACS honors now. Peacemaker and Advanced are outstanding. African American Adventist Heritage in NAD and Advanced are the main sticklers. Be real nice to get these to 100% too. [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 16:22, 15 April 2014 (EDT)

==Accounting==
I've added a few things to the [http://www.investitureachievement.org/wiki/index.php/Adventist_Youth_Honors_Answer_Book/Vocational/Accounting Accounting] honor under requirement 3. The info is taken from Wikipedia. I've linked in the Honor entry to the particular articles. If you could import the Edit history for those two items, I would appreciate it :) [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] 12:45, 2 September 2013 (EDT)
:I've exported the WP articles to my laptop and will import them later (when the innernets at my house are not so busy). --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 15:50, 2 September 2013 (EDT)

==Miscategorized?==

I believe that the childcare honor is incorrectly catagorized in this wiki. The background of the patch matches Outreach not Health and Science which is were it sits now. It also seems a better fit in outreach along side sign language and other service oriented honors. I do not know how to move it. [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 16:41, 18 May 2013 (EDT)
:You were right. The GC has it categorized with Outreach. The NAD always put these under "Division" honors which I never liked. I had to guess which one it was way back when the wiki was set up, and I got it wrong. I have moved it. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]]

http://www.investitureachievement.org/wiki/index.php/Adventist_Youth_Honors_Answer_Book/Outreach/Cultural_Heritage may be incorrectly categorized as well. It is a gray background reflecting its inclusion in Heritage. [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 06:15, 20 May 2013 (EDT)
:The Heritage category does not yet officially exist, even though there are some honors that have been approved and are in that category. I don't think that situation will change until next February at the earliest. I don't think we should move any existing honors into it until the NAD makes a decision. I can well imagine several honors that belong here:
*All the "Lore" honors
*African American Heritage in the NAD & Advanced
*Anything else with "heritage" in the title.
:I think the greyness of its background is an artifact of photography rather than an intentional color change. As far as I know, there are no honor patches yet with an intentionally grey background. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 17:47, 3 June 2013 (EDT)
::: except for the Florida Conference honors, which are found here: http://www.floridaconference.com/iym/pathfinders/honors/(unsigned comment by [[User:98.242.149.225]]
::Not disagreeing with you, but I know an elderly MG with gray background vocational patches. [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 05:34, 4 June 2013 (EDT)
::Another complication is that the Cultural Heritage honor is an SPD honor, so the NAD doesn't really have a say in what color its background is, or what category it belongs to. Has the SPD adopted a Heritage category? --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 17:49, 3 June 2013 (EDT)
::::Not according to their sites as far as I can find.[[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 05:34, 4 June 2013 (EDT)
::: According to the GC, it belongs in Arts & Crafts. http://gcyouthministries.org/Ministries/Pathfinders/Honors/tabid/85/agentType/View/PropertyID/574/customFieldIDs/1/Default.aspx?SearchValues=Cultural+Heritage --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 17:51, 3 June 2013 (EDT)
::::Or in Outreach http://www.pathfindersonline.org/honors/outreach-ministries/257-cultural-heritage but this page says "Category: Outreach (NAD) / Arts Crafts, & Hobbies (GC)" and the image is a Arts & Crafts background. Confused yet? I'm half a mind to earn it and order it from somewhere and be surprised by the color-my wife (and kids) are native from Borneo so if I do the research for her area the answers will make total sense, not so much so for British Columbia where we don't have traditional wear or bride prices. [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 05:34, 4 June 2013 (EDT)
::I ordered the Cultural Heritage patch from Florida Conf. and have it in hand. Clearly an Arts and Crafts background. Should we move it? How? [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 16:27, 15 April 2014 (EDT)
:::I moved it. Along the top of the screen is a "down" triangle next to the "View history" tab. That contains a "move" feature. I made it leave a redirect behind in case anyone has bookmarked it in its old place. I also updated the Outreach & A&C pages to move the honor, and updated the master index on the main AYHAB page as well. Oops - I still need to change the category in the honor header, but I'll do that in a second... --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 18:51, 15 April 2014 (EDT)
::::Same problem for Maori Lore. I did all the above steps to move it from Outreach to Arts&Crafts (like the other Lore honors) plus updated the honor counts on the catagory and main pages to reflect the two moves. [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 22:12, 15 April 2014 (EDT)

==Patch Photo Updates==

The wiki shows Dressmaking and Advanced patches with Red/Vocational backgrounds but I believe they are (maybe again) Household Arts/Golden [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 05:43, 4 June 2013 (EDT)
:Maybe BLueScifiWorm can help as I just awarded her one of these. Cailin, if you could remove the advanced star from it, take its picture, and upload it here, that would fix it. I'd do it, but I don't have a patch any more! --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 12:06, 4 June 2013 (EDT)
::Can you take it from here? http://www.pathfindersonline.org/es/honors/household-arts/13-dressmaking or http://www.flpathfinderstore.com/Dressmaking--ADVANCED--PF-NAD_p_8321.html [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 18:31, 4 June 2013 (EDT)
:::I could, but I'd rather teach you how to do it. First step is to download the photo to your computer. Then look for the "Upload file" link in the left pane of most any page on the wiki and click it. Browse to the copy of the image on your PC, come up with a file name for the wiki, in this case "Dressmaking_Honor.png", assuming your downloaded copy is a .png file. If it's not, you could either convert it, or you could name it Dressmaking_Honor.jpg (or whatever) and change the honor to use that instead of the old one. There is a pulldown menu where you can select the license, and the correct choice there is the "PF insignia" one. That's pretty much it. It might complain about the file already existing, but you should be able to override that. Let me know if these instructions were sufficient! --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 23:28, 4 June 2013 (EDT)
::::Perfect instructions - all done. I added a Golden version of the basic honor and replaced the red version of the advanced honor. [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 02:31, 5 June 2013 (EDT)
:::::Nice work! I'm a bit overwhelmed this week with some major projects, but maybe next week I will have some time to pitch in more here. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 07:19, 5 June 2013 (EDT)
::::::All the edit logs show you have contributed vastly to this project. Don't feel bad! [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 11:48, 5 June 2013 (EDT)
::::::: Woops! Didn't see this till now! Guess I need to pay more attention. Haha! Glad you got it sorted though! [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] 00:27, 6 June 2013 (EDT)

==SPD Honors==
These SPD honors are not represented in the wiki yet:
* <s>http://honours.adventistconnect.org/master Zoology Master</s> Done
* <s>http://honours.adventistconnect.org/folk-art-1</s> (new one)Done [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 06:00, 4 June 2013 (EDT)
* <s>ttp://honours.adventistconnect.org/hiking-2 </s>for which you would just add a star to your hiking patch when earned.
::I've never even heard of either of those. Must be pretty new? [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] 00:30, 6 June 2013 (EDT)
:::The South Pacific Division (SPD) has their own set of honors. Over the past five years or so they have been going through each one, reviewing it, and if necessary modifying it to fit their needs. http://honours.adventistconnect.org is SPD's http://www.pathfindersonline.org

:::They also have introduced several of their own (such as Folk Art 1 - which implies the existence or at least a plan to introduce Folk Art 2). Divisions routinely introduce new honors, and then the GC committee reviews them. If they are not ''too'' region specific, they approve them for world-wide use.

:::SPD was the first division to officially recognize the wiki. They incorporated lots of content from it into their official resources. They link to the wiki (at its old location - I should send them an email) but made static copies of the content for their official documentation. It was pretty cool back when it happened (and still is). --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 06:44, 6 June 2013 (EDT)

::::That is pretty cool! I sent an email to the people at the YPAC site, letting them know the wikibooks project they linked to was now here. Would be cool if SPD linked here too. [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] 07:56, 6 June 2013 (EDT)

==Field Guide==
What do you guys think of creating a field guide here? It would be an enormous undertaking, but I think it would be pretty cool to have one. It could have information on birds, flowers, mammals, sharks - basically every kind of species one needs to identify to get an honor.

I would organize it so that every species was on a different page, and could be added to several categories depending on where they live. In other words, we could have an entry for Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), and it would belong to regional categories for all 50 US states, plus the Canadian provinces where it grows, etc. It would belong to a single category for its species or genus, and that category would belong to its own family category, which would belong to its order, etc.

For Edible Wild Plants, we could add edibility categories (edible tuber, edible greens, etc - as per the EWP honor requirements).

With all these categories set up, it would be a piece of cake to then create a dynamic field guide for a given area and subject. By using templates, each species could be presented in a uniform way (which we already do).

Thoughts? --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 08:28, 16 June 2013 (EDT)

:I don't have the Wiki skills to set it up, but it sounds like a good plan. Would we be duplicating an existing online effort? Would this detract from completing answers for remaining unfinished honors? [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 00:29, 17 June 2013 (EDT)

::It might be better to do this at Wikibooks instead of here. They already have some of the meat but not much in the way of bones. In other words, they have articles grouped by major categories (birds, reptiles, etc) but do not have the category system in place. I have a lot of printed field guides, and every single one of them is aimed at a particular region. To create a universal FG we would ''have'' to be able to narrow it down by region. I'll think about this some more before acting. Maybe, I'll think about it for a long time. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 08:06, 17 June 2013 (EDT)
:::This sounds like a massive job and duplicative of the printed field guides in existence. I just came back from a trip - much of it without internet access. Tried to ID some flowers and trees and really wished I'd brought a field guide. Practically field guides are meant to be taken to the field so they don't work well online. [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 11:58, 17 June 2013 (EDT)
::::I have sometimes had better luck with online FG's, as they are searchable. In these days of smartphones, I expect online FG's to be very fieldable. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 17:47, 17 June 2013 (EDT)

==images with issues==

I cant get the image for Bones R5 to display. What am I doing wrong? [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 20:19, 18 June 2013 (EDT)
:You weren't doing anything wrong, it was me. A while back, when anyone would click the upload tool at Wikibooks, it would upload an image to the WB wiki. Later, they switched it so that images would be loaded to the Commons by default instead. I first answered this honor on Wikibooks before they made the switch, so the upload went to WB instead of the Commons. I'll move it here, and everything should work. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 08:40, 19 June 2013 (EDT)
