The scriptures to read this week are 1 Nephi 16-22. Read or summarize the scriptures with your family. Some of the main points you may want to discuss are Nephi being commanded to build a boat, Nephi is filled with the power of God and his brothers can’t touch him, they start towards the promised land, Nephi is tied up, Laman and Lemuel are mean to Nephi, there is a storm and Nephi is freed. The Book of Mormon videos or videos from Living Scriptures are also a great resource. You could watch a video (QR included on summary sheet) while you make your own 3D boat.
Read about how the Lord guided Lehi and his family. Teach about the Liahona and relate it to a compass. We have included instructions for how to make your own compass in your materials. It may be fun to go on a treasure hunt or walk with a real compass or the compass you made.
To end the lesson display the print and discuss how the Lord guides us through small and simple things. How does this apply to your life now?
One of the bonus activities also uses this print to continue your discussion. Read 1 Nephi 16:29 and talk about what small things you are doing to bless your family. There are other example questions on your summary page to help facilitate discussion.

Of course this can be completed by children but you will notice it is more intricate and can be fun for adults and teens. Young children can color the make your own liahona craft in place of this.
[ux_gallery ids=”110795,110794,110793″ type=”rectangular” columns=”3″]One of our favorite activities this week is the lacing cards. Print them out on cardstock and laminate them. Hole punch the dots and use a shoelace to complete them. These will also make great quiet activities for sacrament meeting.

Each day, we face trials and setbacks in our lives. From bad weather and traffic to messy homes and sick kids, difficulties seem like they won’t stop coming. We must choose to carry on and plead with our Heavenly Father for help and to see the good in our lives. He will always answer those prayers and allow us to see our progress in the path that leads back into His presence.
We often keep things of value in special places: important documents kept in a secured file or safe, dinner china in a display cabinet, or treats too good to share with kids up on the top shelf. These things are kept safe and out of easy reach for good reasons, but there are other things of value we need to make sure are always available to us. Our scriptures are one of these things.
We all make mistakes as parents. Sometimes our attention is wrongly distracted from a child’s needs, or perhaps we raised our voice in anger when we should have been calm. Do we seek forgiveness from both the Lord and our children when we do these things? Do we sincerely forgive our children when they err? As the Savior Jesus Christ plainly explains in Doctrine and Covenants 64, forgiveness is a crucial component of achieving peace in the home.
