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 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.
