Begin your Come Follow Me lesson with the emotion cards included in your materials and discuss each emotion and when each child may have felt that way. Then explain that through all of these emotions Christ is with us.
After reading Alma 7:7-16 complete the candle object lesson and discuss what you learn.
There are a lot of verses in Alma chapter 5 that talk about repentance. As you read these scriptures together younger children can complete the coloring page of Alma.
Use the backpack object lesson to review the steps of repentance and discuss how Christ can make our load lighter.
End the lesson with your testimony and then play the Seek the Shepherd board game.
For one of the bonus lessons this week you will need color changing markers. You can purchase them here: https://www.amazon.com/Crayola-58-8170-Color-Switchers/dp/B001QKLPQQ
Use the colored side of the marker to color in the heart and then use the white side to change the color as you talk about what it means to have a change of heart.

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.
Abraham and Sarah had a lot to worry about. From infertility and famine to war and the safety of their family, it could have been easy to forget their covenants while focusing on their daily concerns. Yet they showed faith by putting the Lord first each day. As a result of keeping their covenants, they knew the Lord would help them throughout their lives. As Abraham told his son, Isaac, “God will provide” (Genesis 22:8). We should follow Abraham’s example of faith and always put the Lord first.
