Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
The blessings for those who followed the Prophet Joseph continued through the time of peace in Nauvoo and readied them for the trek west to the Salt Lake Valley. We can also be blessed by the choice to follow the prophet, such as heeding President Russell M. Nelson’s recent counsel to have charity and virtue in our homes. When we follow the prophet, we trust in the Lord.

Show a picture of Jesus Christ. Explain that Jesus wants us to keep the commandments.

Discuss some of the ways we can keep the commandments and read D&C 104:42. With your child, complete the I Can Keep the Commandment puzzle. Help your child glue or tape each piece into place, making the heart shape. Place the completed heart puzzle next to the picture of Jesus.

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
Doctrine and Covenants 97 was given to the saints as both a blessing of comfort and instruction. With persecution growing around them, the saints needed to know the will of the Lord to guide them. Jesus Christ spoke peace to the saints through the Prophet Joseph, encouraging them to wait “patiently on the Lord” and to do what He would do, even if it meant further persecution (D&C 97:2).
It’s easy to think that, as parents, we’re not doing enough to give our children a good life. The world is always persuading us to look at what others are doing and tells us our kids are missing out on extravagant trips, the latest entertainment systems, and privileged extracurricular activities. Yet these experiences will fall short of the positive impact that regular family prayer, daily scripture study, and keeping covenants can have on our children.
