To start this Come Follow Me Lesson, read Alma 37:47 and then go on the Treasure Hunt for Christ (have the treasure hunt set up before the lesson). After the treasure hunt explain that we need to search for Christ in our lives.

Hang up the picture of Christ used for the treasure hunt. Blindfold one member of the family and have another family member help them to Christ. After everyone has a turn being blindfolded relate this to things that help us come to Christ, like the scriptures.
Finish the lesson by reading Alma 37:6-7 and completing the small and simple things object lesson.
Make a list of small and simple things that bless your life. As you share aloud each idea add a puff ball or small rock to a clear jar until the jar is full.
Learn about the word bridle as you read Alma chapter 38.
Discuss repentance and how it makes us happy. Use the smiling and frowning face and sing the song If You Chance to Meet a Frown. Then color the Repentance coloring page.

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.
