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.
Ask your child to help you with a simple chore. Tell them that when they help you it makes you happy. Together think of ways you can serve other family members or neighbors. Explain that Jacob served Rachel’s father, Laban, for many years. SIng “When We’re Helping, We’re Happy” (Children’s Songbook pg 198). With your child complete the kindness cookie activity by writing down ways you can show kindness by helping others. Make cookies to deliver to friends and neighbors.
Talk about all the things we learn from Jacob as you color the “What can we learn from Jacob? coloring page.”
Summarize Genesis 29 for your family and point out that Laban was not honest with Jacob. Use the “honesty bundle” to help your children learn more about honesty. There is a lesson for older children and a lesson for younger children. The lessons include instructions for making a wolf mask, coloring a plant honesty and trust will grow coloring page, and four honesty bookmarks that you can color and decorate.
These are just two of the six fun, creative, and engaging activities for this week’s lesson. See your lesson plan page and materials for more activities and QR codes to videos that go along with what we are learning about this week!
Each week the Teen Lesson includes 4 discussion questions, a challenge, QR code to a video made by experienced Seminary teachers, and a scripture print to print off and display.
The extra premium materials will only be available in your account during the current month, March 1st-31st.

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.
