This week’s Come Follow Me Lesson is formatted different than usual. There are a lot of chapters to get through, Alma 43-52. We outlined the lesson to allow for 2 chapters per day. There is an activity everyday to go along with the chapters you read. As always, be prayerful about what your family needs to learn and study about this week.
There are a variety of ways you can learn from the war chapters. Some of our ideas include: Listen to the chapters using the gospel library app, read it as a family taking turns reading verses or use the simplified Book of Mormon, watch the Book of Mormon video that goes along with the chapters, summarize the chapters (this is especially applicable to those with younger kids that may not be able to read or have shorter attention spans), or act it out.
Be sure to follow along closely on your lesson summary page and the activity books. There are two activity books included in your materials. One is recommended for kids age 3-6 and the other for ages 7 and up.
We have also provided some fun family unity games for you to play this week.
As always, we’ve included a coloring page! Discuss the importance of the Title of Liberty as they color.

We have already read several references to Jesus Christ’s atonement and resurrection in the Old Testament: the Flood that cleansed the world of wickedness, Abraham’s sacrifice of his son, and Joseph saving his family from the famine, just to name a few. These stories help us understand that the world has been readying for the Savior’s mortal ministry thousands of years before He would be born. It all leads to Him.
Moses grew from a helpless Hebrew infant to Egyptian royalty. Yet that wasn’t where God needed him. As a refugee, Moses was called to be the most significant prophet of the Old Testament. Through Moses, the Lord redeemed His people, established His covenant, and reminded the world that God will not forget those who follow Him.
Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers did not come after they had paid restitution or offered an apology. He forgave them the moment he realized they had changed from their jealous ways when they offered themselves in place of Benjamin for punishment. How overwhelming it must have been for Joseph to see such love amongst his brothers. His forgiveness came with no strings attached: “be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves” (Genesis 45:5).
