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.
Other bonus activities this week include a testimony box to talk about how to nourish our testimonies and a scripture story guide. See your lesson summary page for more bonus ideas.

Learning is a lifelong journey. While we tend to think of our years in school as the only time in life when we need to gain an education, we know through Doctrine and Covenants 88 that the Lord instructs His faithful to create places of learning in their own homes (D&C 88:119). How do we do that?
Sometimes, things just don’t work out the way we had planned: dinner gets burnt, the car won’t start, or you unexpectedly get laid off from your job. You’ve been promised blessings for keeping the commandments. It might be tempting to wonder where those blessings are when ill fortune strikes.
What is “godliness?” Doctrine and Covenants Section 84 uses the word to describe the way that God prepares us to return to live with Him one day. We do this by inviting our children to be baptized and prepare for the temple. Through participating in priesthood ordinances, we increase our access to the priesthood and experience “the power of godliness” as we come to see God’s presence in our lives every day (Doctrine and Covenants 84:20).
