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.

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).
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.
