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.
Tell the story of Abraham and Isaac using the cutouts. Tape the cutouts on upside down paper cups. Then sing “Quickly I’ll Obey” (Children’s Songbook pg. 197b). Make a musical instrument using an empty water bottle and dry beans. Place the beans in the water bottle to shake while you sing. You can let your child decorate the water bottle tape and stickers. Share your testimony about how your family is blessed when you obey Heavenly Father’s commandments.
Read about Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19:12-29. Be sure to include the part about Lot’s wife being disobedient and turning into a pillar of salt. Then play hot potato. Talk about how we should “flee” bad situations as fast as we can, just as we try to pass the potato as fast as we can.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
This week you will get to see how we can become better as we are “proven” or “tested” in this life by making “Agency Butter.” This object lesson will help your family see how being “proven” can help us become something better. You will need heavy whipping cream, a mason jar, and a marble. See the full instructions on the Go and Do page in your materials.
Print the “Altar Puzzle”, cut along the lines and put it together as a family. See if your children know what the picture is. Talk about an altar and how people used it in this time period and read the summary together on the back of the puzzle.
The extra premium materials will only be available in your account during the current month, February 1st-28th.

Abraham lived a life of violence and peace, of trauma and healing, and of promises and faith. Through every trial, Abraham trusted in the Lord and chose to follow Him even when his world was at its darkest. He was rewarded with a covenant that encompasses all of God’s children and will last into the eternities. This covenant and its blessings are extended to our families today.
The phrase, “found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Moses 8:27), has at least two meanings that can bless our families. One is that Noah lived in a way that allowed the Lord to strengthen him and his family during difficult circumstances. A second meaning is that Noah discovered the peace that comes from looking at life through God’s eyes. By looking at life with an eternal perspective, Noah “walked with God, as did also his three sons” (Moses 8:27) even in a world filled with wickedness.
In less than one generation, the world God created was filled with wickedness. One exception was Enoch, a prophet who taught his people how to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. As Enoch talked with God, he was amazed to see that the Divine Creator would cry at the fall of His children: “How is it thou canst weep?” (Moses 7:31). God responded, “They are the workmanship of mine own hands” (Moses 7:32). He was sad because each child of God is precious to Him. He grieves for each one of us when our choices take us away from Him.
