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 scripture marking guide will help the kids study Helaman 7:17-24.

It’s easy to wish the Lord would show us everything we need to do to be happy and successful. However, that’s not His way. Instead, we are to act under His guidance and do the things we feel would bring to pass righteousness. As He tells the saints in Doctrine and Covenants 62, do that “as seemeth you good, it mattereth not unto me; only be faithful.”
We all want to arrive at our own “promised land” or “Zion” sooner rather than later. However, we cannot forget that the process of getting there is just as important as the destination itself. As we follow Jesus Christ and keep His commandments, we are changed to become more like the Savior. The trials that accompany this period of growth are essential the eternal reward of being with our families forever, for “after much tribulation come the blessings (DC 58:4).”
In a world that revolves around money, it can be stressful to know how we can support our families and make the most of the resources we obtain. We should feel grateful to know that in the Lord’s Church, Jesus Christ provides direction on how temporal resources can be used to further His work. He instructs the saints in Doctrine and Covenants 51 to collect money, food, and clothing to help provide for each other. We also read of the commandment to build a bishop’s storehouse.
