There are always things to be stressed about in our lives. Wouldn’t it be nice to just enjoy the moment with our loved ones instead of crossing off another item on our to-do list? The Savior Jesus Christ was Himself presented with this choice. He chose to “tarry a little longer” with the Nephites and heal their sick (3 Nephi 17:5). Then, continuing to be moved by compassion, Jesus blessed and played with the children who were present. His love for them overcame the need to move on to His next task.
President Thomas S. Monson once said, “Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.” With both Christ’s example and a prophet’s guidance, the way for us is clear: loving others will always help us be happier than simply getting things done.

This week, teach your children the chapters of Alma 43-52. You will find an activity book for your children (one for ages 3-6 and one for ages 7+). Print your activity book pages, then cut all of them in half, except the cover. You will fold the cover in half to help keep the pages together. Put all your pages in order inside the cover and then staple along the left-hand edge to keep it together. Make one book for each of your children (see lesson for details).
Hands-On Activity
When we partake of the sacrament, we want our spirits to feel full, not empty. Read 3 Nephi 18:1-12 and explain how we are spiritually filled after taking the sacrament. Use the “sacrament trays” to take one piece of bread and water. For each piece you take, say how you can make the sacrament a more meaningful experience.
Coloring Activity
The Savior loves all of God’s children. He blesses them and prays for them. Read 3 Nephi 17:7, 20-25 and describe His encounter with the children as your own child colors the “Christ Loves All Children” coloring page.
Scripture Study
Jesus teaches us to watch and pray always. In 3 Nephi 18:15-25, He tells us important principles about prayer. After reading and discussing these verses, play the “Roll and Pray” game. Think about things you would give thanks for and ask for. Apply these ideas to your prayers as you make them more purposeful.

Christ ministered to the Nephites. He taught. He blessed. He prayed. He healed. These were all actions that He performed showing that He loved each one of them. He was the perfect example for all to follow. Read 3 Nephi 17:21. You might even choose to watch His ministry in the video, “Jesus Christ Has Compassion and Heals the People” from the Gospel Library. Discuss how Jesus loves us all. Print, cut and prepare the “Remembering Christ Collectible Cards.” You can use them in several ways such as in a quiet book, play with them in a matching game, or put them in baseball sleeves as collectibles. However you choose to use them, they will help your child remember Christ and all the many things He has done to show love.

In every moment of Joseph’s story, God was with him. From his brothers’ betrayal and serving Potiphar, to a friend of Pharaoh and the savior of his family, at no time was Joseph forgotten by God. Through the good and the bad, he trusted that God knew who he was and had faith that everything would be all right.
Abraham’s posterity was promised many blessings of eternal significance, but that didn’t mean everything would be perfect. His grandsons, Jacob and Esau, fought over who should inherit their father’s birthright. Relatives lied to and tricked each other. The prophet’s very own family was dysfunctional, yet that didn’t stop those who were righteous from striving to follow Jesus Christ.
Abraham and Sarah had a lot to worry about. From infertility and famine to war and the safety of their family, it could have been easy to forget their covenants while focusing on their daily concerns. Yet they showed faith by putting the Lord first each day. As a result of keeping their covenants, they knew the Lord would help them throughout their lives. As Abraham told his son, Isaac, “God will provide” (Genesis 22:8). We should follow Abraham’s example of faith and always put the Lord first.
