We are so excited to start studying the Doctrine and Covenants this year. We have multiple Come Follow Me subscriptions and multiple activities in each subscription to help you find what works best for your family. Our goal is to help families come closer to Christ and we’ve worked really hard on providing more options to help achieve our goal.
Before the lesson hide the pictures provided in your materials around the room or around your house. Begin by asking your child if they have ever had to search for something and how they felt when they found it. Let the child use the magnify glass to find the pictures you hid. Teach that when we search the scriptures we find the words of Jesus Christ and we also find happiness.
Use the “How Did We Get The Doctrine and Covenants Flipbook” to help teach the lesson. Allow the children to hold the flipbook and read aloud. Let them be the teacher. Have a discussion about how our church might be different without the revelations contained in Doctrine and Covenants.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Begin by reading D&C 1:37-38. As a family think of things the prophet has asked us to do. Specifically discuss verse 38. If the prophet tells us something it is the same as if the Lord told us. Play the Follow the Prophet Go Fish Game.
Read together D&C 1:31. Follow the directions provided in your materials to make your own compass. Teach your children how a compass works. Relate it our spiritual compass and how we need to always make sure it is pointing to God. Explore with your compass.
The extra premium materials will be available in account during the current month. Your “Merry Mail” for December are these beautiful focus prints. There is one for each month of the year with a powerful verse from the Doctrine and Covenants to display in your home. We hope these help bring the spirit to your home.
Here is a sneak peak at the extra goodies you’ll will get in January.

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.
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.
