As you read Alma chapter 32:17-43 stop at verse 21 and use the Code Breaker.
Use the Faith Seed Sort activity to discuss some things we can do to make sure our testimony is nourished.
Have a wiggle break and sing the song Faith. Making up actions to the words is a good way for children to remember the words.
End the lesson by planting a seed in a cup.
As a bonus idea this week, read the Simplified Scripture Story of Zenos and Zenock. Discuss different places and times that you can pray. You could even play charades to act out some of the things you discuss. Make the Prayer Necklace Tags and let the children wear them throughout the week to remind them to pray.
Another bonus idea is to use the Scripture Story Guide as you read Alma 32:26-35. There is always a scripture guide for junior and senior age children.
We’ve included a fun object lesson to learn about the Atonement. Follow the instructions in your materials. Finish by coloring the Article of Faith coloring page.
Give each child a Prayer coloring page. As you read Alma 34:17-29 follow along with the thought bubbles. Each time you read about one color it in.
Consider making a faith dessert to enjoy. We have recipes available in our shop that include a Faith Pudding Cup. It comes with a cute tag to add meaning and connection from the scriptures. If you purchased a workbook the recipes have been added as a digital bonus in your account.

Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers did not come after they had paid restitution or offered an apology. He forgave them the moment he realized they had changed from their jealous ways when they offered themselves in place of Benjamin for punishment. How overwhelming it must have been for Joseph to see such love amongst his brothers. His forgiveness came with no strings attached: “be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves” (Genesis 45:5).
In every moment of Joseph’s story, God was with him. From his brothers’ betrayal and serving Potiphar, to a friend of Pharaoh and the savior of his family, at no time was Joseph forgotten by God. Through the good and the bad, he trusted that God knew who he was and had faith that everything would be all right.
Abraham’s posterity was promised many blessings of eternal significance, but that didn’t mean everything would be perfect. His grandsons, Jacob and Esau, fought over who should inherit their father’s birthright. Relatives lied to and tricked each other. The prophet’s very own family was dysfunctional, yet that didn’t stop those who were righteous from striving to follow Jesus Christ.
