Read 2 Nephi 31:20-21. Discuss as a family what it means to feast and how we can apply that to feasting on the words of Christ. Then complete the feasting on the words of Christ plate provided in your materials.
In 2 Nephi 32:8-9 we learn more about prayer. Cut and laminate the prayer puzzles and play the game to complete each one.
Sing some songs to help teach about prayer. See your summary page for song suggestions.
After your discussion on prayer and places we can pray, practice and model praying.
One of the bonus ideas this week includes reading and discussing 2 Nephi 31:17-21. Make a straight and narrow path with painters tape on the carpet. Let each member of the family walk the path towards a picture of Christ. Discuss how we can stay on the path in our lives.
Read and discuss 2 Nephi 31:4-13. Complete the coloring page while you listen to and learn the song Baptism.
This week also includes a scripture marking guide. There are two versions. One is meant for younger children with assistance from a parent. The other one is meant for older children to complete individually. Both versions are meant to be a guide for marking and studying their scriptures.

The story of David versus Goliath teaches many important principles, with one being that if we try our best and have real faith in God, He will help us make the most of our efforts. Though an army was present and he was offered the king’s armor, David brought his sling and his belief that the Lord would prevail through him. It was enough: “the Lord saveth not with sword and spear” (1 Samuel 17:47) but with trust and hope.
Have you ever been jealous of your neighbor? The Israelites sure were. They wanted a king to rule over them as other nations had, believing that life would be better and more secure. However, when Israel’s prophet prayed about having a king as a leader, the Lord responded that the people’s jealous desire was actually a rejection of Him as their true King: “they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them” (1 Samuel 8:7). Their need for what others’ possessed had decreased their faith in Him.
The Lord loved His people, the children of Israel. We read in Ruth that His love wasn’t just for the nation as a whole, but for each person individually who kept their covenants. Ruth is an example of a convert to the faith who trusted in the Lord to keep her and her mother-in-law safe during a famine. Ruth’s loyalty to God helped her see His blessings in her life and trust that even in an uncertain world, good things would come.
