Probably the best part of this week was the object lesson with a mitten or glove. In fact, I recommend giving each family member a glove to complete the lesson with you. Simply demonstrate and teach the lesson once then hand out a glove to everyone and invite them to try it! I know you are all wondering the details about this activity, see your summary sheet for the week where I give specifics.
Another powerful tool to use with children and even adults is music. I know many of us are no musicians or professional singers but hear me out. When you teach through song it sticks! This is because song appeals to many different types of learners. Therefore, it is effective! Just ask yourself, how many primary lessons or sharing times do you remember from your years of primary as a child? One maybe two of them that were really special right? Now ask yourself, how many songs do you remember from primary as a child? I would bet that number is much higher. For me, it’s nearly the entire Children’s Song Book.
Enter the song flip charts that we make special for your family, one per month! Here is the chart for June, well a sneak peak of it. Use it this week and notice how it sticks in your head and your kids are singing it around the house. Promise!
Before I go I wanted to share one more gem that is in the materials provided to those with an active membership. This pop up tomb action page! My two year old loved this and so did my older kids! Mom win! I love when that happens! The good news is that it also comes in color and black and white so print what you’d like best.

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.
