Start this Come Follow Me FHE lesson talking about Enos. Read Enos 1:4-27. Share with your family a time when your prayer was answered. Create the Enos Prayer Wheel included in the materials and let children use it to retell the story in their own words. Then discuss how we should pray to show respect to Heavenly Father.
Once you have learned about how we pray, teach about what we include in our prayers using the five finger prayer book. Let children draw pictures of items they would be thankful for, ask for, etc.
End the lesson with the pretzel story and a pretzel snack.
For a bonus activity this week you may consider making a prayer pillow or rock with your children to serve as a daily reminder to pray.
Read the Words of Mormon book. It is just one chapter but is important in bridging the two sets of plates. Read the section in the Come Follow Me Manual for Individuals and Families on page 51 that aligns with the Words of Mormon and complete the coloring page of Mormon.
Use the Holy Ghost teaching poster as you talk about how Mormon listened to the Holy Ghost. You may want to sing some songs about the Holy Ghost or make a list of how the spirit can speak to us.
See your summary sheet for more bonus ideas that can be used this week.

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.
