To start this week’s Come Follow Me lesson, show the picture of Moroni burying the gold plates in the Come Follow Me For Individuals and Families Manual. Let the kids find and point to Moroni, the gold plates, and the box the plates were buried in.
Read Moroni chapter 10 together and then color and create the Help Moroni Bury the Plates activity.
Show the Moroni Invites Us To… Print. Discuss what Moroni invites us to do after we have read the Book of Mormon. Accept Moroni’s challenge as a family. Pray together as a family. Challenge older children to do it on their own this week.
Show the Holy Ghost print and discuss how the Holy Ghost will be the one to answer your prayer and testify of the truth of the Book of Mormon. End the lesson by bearing your testimony about the Book of Mormon.
Play the Book of Mormon Review Game for a fun activity after the lesson. Or use it as a bonus activity later in the week.
Make your own gold plates by using yellow felt. Discuss how important it was to have the plates sealed until it was time for Joseph Smith to receive them.
Learn about gifts from God in Moroni 10:8-25. Make the Spiritual Gifts Mini Book.
Hold a family testimony meeting. Give each person time to write their testimony. Younger children can draw pictures. Then let everyone share what they wrote.

Though we have reached the end of the Doctrine and Covenants, the work of the Restoration is still ongoing: “We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God” (Articles of Faith 1:9). Prophets still reveal the will of God. The Church is still growing to fill the Earth.
“What happens after we die?” This is a question commonly asked by all of God’s children. Because of continuing revelation through living prophets, we know! Doctrine and Covenants Sections 137 and 138 reveal that our loved ones who have died go to a place of rest if they were faithful in their testimony of Christ, where they are then prepared to teach the gospel in the spirit world. Those who died who were not faithful are given the opportunity to learn about Jesus Christ and accept ordinances performed by the living: “and thus was the gospel preached to the dead” (D&C 138:30).
Doctrine and Covenants Section 135 could be viewed as the conclusion of the entire Doctrine and Covenants scriptures, were it not for additional revelation given to the saints. This section witnesses the divinity of the Prophet Joseph’s calling. It declares Joseph’s work to be of God and that it will never fail. It also testifies that those who read the Doctrine and Covenants, as well as the Book of Mormon, “will be reminded that the Book of Mormon, and this book of Doctrine and Covenants of the church, cost the best blood of the nineteenth century to bring them forth” (D&C 135:6).
