After Nephi died, Jacob kept the history. He wrote things that are “most precious” to “hand them down from generation to generation.” We all need to keep a history of our lives to pass down our stories to our children. Talk about the importance of family history. Use the family tree provided in your materials and draw members of your family in the boxes.
Consider telling a story and showing a picture of each member of the family as the kids draw in their family tree.
A great way to apply the importance of keeping a record is to keep a journal yourself. Use a journal cover and glue it onto a notebook. Use the 30 days of journal prompts to help you set a goal as a family to write in your journal every day.
The man and wife paper prop in your materials is for a bonus activity. Color and decorate the figures. Read and discuss Jacob 2 and teach that marriage is between a man and woman. You can also use The Family Proclamation to teach this principle.
See your summary sheet for a QR code to a watch a video about strengthening our faith. Read Jacob 4:6 and discuss how we can build our faith.

Though the writings of Isaiah can be intimidating to study, we are encouraged to dive in and embrace this special part of the Old Testament. Isaiah is unique in that the entire book is written by him, as opposed to the historical texts we read earlier this year. Think about it: the word of the Lord straight from the mouth of an ancient prophet in your own home.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a guidebook on how to be a better parent? On how to have less contention in the home? A word or two on having more patience and kindness? The book of Proverbs is full of wisdom given to David, Solomon, and others who sought the guidance of Heaven. Many verses, when read with prayer and real intent, can answer our prayers when we need heavenly guidance in raising our children, such as this one: “A soft answer turneth away wrath” (Proverbs 15:1).
As we continue through Psalms, we are taught that humility is required to recognize God’s personal affection for each of His children. Heavenly Father knows each of us better than we know ourselves—our thoughts, strengths, and struggles—and offers His scriptures as a light to guide us home through life’s darkness and challenges.
