Top start this week’s Come Follow Me lesson, read Alma chapter 31 as a family. You may also consider watching the Book of Mormon video about the Rameumptom. Use the Prayer Comparison Poster to write down the differences between how Alma prayed and how the Zoramites prayed.
Let the children use the Character Stick Puppets to retell the story in their own words.
Next, use the Rameumptom Tower Puzzle. Each piece has a song and a question. Hang the tower on the wall and let each child take a turn removing a piece. Sing the song, discuss the principles taught in the song, and answer the question.
There are many fun bonus lessons in this week’s Come Follow Me lesson. Choose the ones that will be a good fit for your family.
Sing “We Bow our Heads” or other primary songs about prayer. See the list on your summary page for some ideas. Then create the prayer mobile to help kids visualize what they have learned.
Learn the song Scripture Power and sing it as a family. We have provided a song chart to help!
Read Alma 30:56-60 and write down ways you can be protected from the devil. Let everyone take a turn to share.
Make a collage of images that testify there is a God. Use old newspapers or magazines around your house to cut out pictures.
Go on a walk and observe nature. Color the things you see on the coloring page as you walk.

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.
