The scriptures to read and study this week are 1 Nephi 1-7. As you read and discuss these chapters you can use the timeline provided in your materials as a visual aid to help teach about Nephi getting the brass plates.
As you read let your children color the characters from the Book of Mormon. This will help their hands stay busy so their minds can be engaged. Afterwards you can let the children retell the story of Nephi getting the plates using the scene of Laban’s house and the characters.
You can use a bonus idea to continue the main lesson or do a bonus idea each day. One of the bonus ideas is to talk about how the Book of Mormon testifies of Christ. Read Day 1 on your summary sheet for more information. Then have each family member write their testimony on the lined paper provided. If you have a child that is too young to write they can color the testimony coloring page. We love doing this at the beginning of each year to look back at the end of the year and see how our testimonies have grown.
The Day 4 idea talks about Lehi praying unto the Lord. Set a goal to say family and personal prayers each day this week. We provided a prayer chart for you to mark each day you pray.
Read your summary sheet for more bonus ideas and for a song list. Music is another great way for children to learn. If you don’t know a song look it up on the Sacred Music app and learn it as a family.
One of the bonus activities is the Scripture Marking Guide. It’s a little different and we include two different versions, one for younger kids and another one for older kids.

It’s easy to wish the Lord would show us everything we need to do to be happy and successful. However, that’s not His way. Instead, we are to act under His guidance and do the things we feel would bring to pass righteousness. As He tells the saints in Doctrine and Covenants 62, do that “as seemeth you good, it mattereth not unto me; only be faithful.”
We all want to arrive at our own “promised land” or “Zion” sooner rather than later. However, we cannot forget that the process of getting there is just as important as the destination itself. As we follow Jesus Christ and keep His commandments, we are changed to become more like the Savior. The trials that accompany this period of growth are essential the eternal reward of being with our families forever, for “after much tribulation come the blessings (DC 58:4).”
In a world that revolves around money, it can be stressful to know how we can support our families and make the most of the resources we obtain. We should feel grateful to know that in the Lord’s Church, Jesus Christ provides direction on how temporal resources can be used to further His work. He instructs the saints in Doctrine and Covenants 51 to collect money, food, and clothing to help provide for each other. We also read of the commandment to build a bishop’s storehouse.
