Read or summarize Alma chapter 8. Let each child use the Angel Stick Puppets to pretend to be the angel as you read.
Reveal the heart crowns that you made before the lesson and explain that we can all be missionaries now!
One of the many ways we can be a missionary now is by being a good friend. Use the Friendship Flowers and Vase and discuss the quality on each flower.
After reading Alma 11 and 12, use the God’s Plan is a Plan of Redemption Board Sort to teach one of the many important things Alma and Amulek taught the people.
For bonus activities we suggest writing to a missionary (family, friend, ward member) and tell them what you are doing to be a missionary. If you served a mission share some of your experiences and consider making one of your favorite foods from your mission to share with your family.
Use the Body and Glove object lesson to teach about the resurrection and complete the coloring page.
The Book of Mormon videos are a good resource to use to help make the scriptures more alive.
See your summary page for more details on the lesson and bonus activities to do this week.

Parenting is not easy. The experiences of Adam and Eve show that being a parent has never been without trials and heartache. Yet through raising their family, they learned true happiness comes as we try to follow Jesus Christ. Eve said without the pain that had happened in her life, she “never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth” (Moses 5:11).
At the start of each new year, parents plan out activities and events for their family to do during the next 12 months. We hope to make happy memories, build our children’s character, and provide a refuge of emotional and spiritual support during hard times that will inevitably come. We want the best for our family and hope that at the end of the year, we will reflect on how good a year it was.
God knew the purpose of His creation before He began His work. As He told Moses, “This is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man (Moses 1:39). That purpose is the “why” for everything God does, including why He loves each of us.
