Begin by reading 2 Nephi 13 and 14. Choose key verses that stand out to you to discuss as a family. These scriptures are about how Judah and Jerusalem will be punished for their disobedience. Complete the compare and contrast activity provided in the materials.
As you continue to read in 2 Nephi, discuss some of the signs of the last days or some of the warnings Isaiah gave. Write down these ideas on the scroll provided. Let children stand on a stool, wear the beard, hold the scroll, and read aloud like the prophet Isaiah to warn the wicked.
Next, teach about how the Millennium will be a time of peace and joy. You can use the animal scene in your materials to help children understand. Teach that animals that don’t get along now will one day be at peace with each other during the Millennium. Close the lesson by singing Peace in Christ. See your summary sheet for a link to the song.
One of the bonus lessons this week is to talk about the temple being the House of the Lord. Share your experience of being married in the temple. Help the children create the 3D Temple. Let them put figures in and out of the temple pretending to go to the temple someday.
Use the Spin It Game to talk about different ways we can gain knowledge from the world and from God. Read Day 2 on your summary page for more details on this bonus idea.
(For those with a workbook there is a corrected Spin it Game file in the download section of your account)
Read 2 Nephi 25:23-26 and use the coloring page to memorize verse 26.
See your summary sheet for more details on the lesson and bonus activities as well as a QR code for the song Peace in Christ that goes along with the lesson.

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
Doctrine and Covenants 97 was given to the saints as both a blessing of comfort and instruction. With persecution growing around them, the saints needed to know the will of the Lord to guide them. Jesus Christ spoke peace to the saints through the Prophet Joseph, encouraging them to wait “patiently on the Lord” and to do what He would do, even if it meant further persecution (D&C 97:2).
It’s easy to think that, as parents, we’re not doing enough to give our children a good life. The world is always persuading us to look at what others are doing and tells us our kids are missing out on extravagant trips, the latest entertainment systems, and privileged extracurricular activities. Yet these experiences will fall short of the positive impact that regular family prayer, daily scripture study, and keeping covenants can have on our children.
