To start this Come Follow Me Lesson, read Helaman chapters 8 and 9. Focus on the verses used in the Gadianton Robbers Post It Matching Game. Complete the game by matching the scripture verse with the picture. You can do it together as a family or let each child do their own.
Take a wiggle break and sing Do As I’m Doing. For the last action point your finger to your head, like you are thinking. Explain to the family that your action was “pondering.” Explain what the word means and how it applies to the gospel. Read Helaman 10:2-4 and read the pondering quote. Explain what pondering means.
Use the pondering cake walk to help everyone think of and share about a time they have pondered.
Explain that when we ponder we are keeping our baptismal covenant to always remember Him. End the lesson by coloring the Remembering Him Coloring Page
For a bonus activity this week learn about what a famine is. Use the famine activity to help demonstrate. You will need candy runts for this activity.
In Helaman chapters 7-9 we learn about the prophet Nephi. Use the Prophets compare and contrast page to write or draw things you notice are similar, different, or the same as modern prophets.

The Lord Jesus Christ was pleased to see saints gathering from many places as the restored gospel began to spread across the earth. As the Church grew, the Lord gave commandments to organize the saints. These commandments would encourage them to live in harmony with one another.
As the Lord Jesus Christ continued to reveal His restored Church through the Prophet Joseph, the early Saints were instructed to gather in Kirtland, Ohio, leaving behind their comfortable homes and businesses. The idea of living according to God’s way and dedicating their lives to the Lord was an exciting prospect for many of these saints. The sacrifices they made along the way were not easy, but their work still impacts our lives today through the global blessings of the gospel.
The First Vision wasn’t the only time Jesus Christ appeared to the Prophet Joseph. On Easter Sunday in 1836, the Savior stood in the Kirtland temple and declared, “For behold, I have accepted this house, and my name shall be here” (D&C 110:7). For the first time in millennia, a temple of God was again on the earth.
