Having finished their missionary message to the people of Ammonihah, Alma and Amulek were thrown into prison. Though they were smitten and mocked for their faith, they did not fear. They knew that God was still with them. In time, they were freed from their bonds in a show of God’s power that left no room for doubt.
Alma himself testified of the peace that awaited those who spent their lives in service to God, declaring that “they might enter into the rest of the Lord (Alma 13:16). We can also trust in the Lord to bring us comfort in this life and in the life to come as we strive to lead our families in righteousness. Regardless of the trials ahead of us, our faith in God will bring us inevitable peace, joy, and rest.

Hands-On Activity
Prepare your priesthood light bulbs for your activity. Grab a flashlight and dim the lights. You’ll be teaching by flashlight tonight! Read or summarize Alma 13:1-19 for your family. Give everyone a light bulb priesthood quote and discuss. Then use your flashlight to go on your “Priesthood Light Scavenger Hunt!”
Surprise Activity
Cut apart the puzzle pieces and then have your family put the puzzle together. See if they can guess what story the picture is about. Read Alma 15:3-12 together and talk about Zeezrom’s great faith and the power of God to heal through men on earth, like Alma.

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams. The toddler bundle Includes a full lesson plan with THREE activities that align with scripture written by an early childhood educator. These include a coloring page, another printable activity, and a movement activity that helps young children understand the scriptures. Here are a couple of highlights from this week’s lesson.
Go & Do Activity
Alma and Almulek were righteous men. They taught about God. People and leaders at the time did not like that, so they threw them in prison. In the scriptures, Alma 14:17-18, 26-28 we learn that they “broke free” with God’s help. Read these verses aloud to your family. God gave them the power to escape because of their great faith. To make this story come to life, build a fort with your family. It can be out of couch cushions, blankets draped over chairs or giant building blocks. Then, put a child inside the fort and let them break free like Alma and Amulek did. As they do they can shout out loud, “When I have faith in God, He will help me break free from my trials.” Build the fort again and repeat until each child in the family has had a turn.
The toddler bundle includes a lesson plan and three activities every week. Grab the toddler bundle in our subscription.

The story of David versus Goliath teaches many important principles, with one being that if we try our best and have real faith in God, He will help us make the most of our efforts. Though an army was present and he was offered the king’s armor, David brought his sling and his belief that the Lord would prevail through him. It was enough: “the Lord saveth not with sword and spear” (1 Samuel 17:47) but with trust and hope.
Have you ever been jealous of your neighbor? The Israelites sure were. They wanted a king to rule over them as other nations had, believing that life would be better and more secure. However, when Israel’s prophet prayed about having a king as a leader, the Lord responded that the people’s jealous desire was actually a rejection of Him as their true King: “they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them” (1 Samuel 8:7). Their need for what others’ possessed had decreased their faith in Him.
The Lord loved His people, the children of Israel. We read in Ruth that His love wasn’t just for the nation as a whole, but for each person individually who kept their covenants. Ruth is an example of a convert to the faith who trusted in the Lord to keep her and her mother-in-law safe during a famine. Ruth’s loyalty to God helped her see His blessings in her life and trust that even in an uncertain world, good things would come.
