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.

Though the writings of Isaiah can be intimidating to study, we are encouraged to dive in and embrace this special part of the Old Testament. Isaiah is unique in that the entire book is written by him, as opposed to the historical texts we read earlier this year. Think about it: the word of the Lord straight from the mouth of an ancient prophet in your own home.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a guidebook on how to be a better parent? On how to have less contention in the home? A word or two on having more patience and kindness? The book of Proverbs is full of wisdom given to David, Solomon, and others who sought the guidance of Heaven. Many verses, when read with prayer and real intent, can answer our prayers when we need heavenly guidance in raising our children, such as this one: “A soft answer turneth away wrath” (Proverbs 15:1).
As we continue through Psalms, we are taught that humility is required to recognize God’s personal affection for each of His children. Heavenly Father knows each of us better than we know ourselves—our thoughts, strengths, and struggles—and offers His scriptures as a light to guide us home through life’s darkness and challenges.
