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.

It’s easy to wish the Lord would show us everything we need to do to be happy and successful. However, that’s not His way. Instead, we are to act under His guidance and do the things we feel would bring to pass righteousness. As He tells the saints in Doctrine and Covenants 62, do that “as seemeth you good, it mattereth not unto me; only be faithful.”
We all want to arrive at our own “promised land” or “Zion” sooner rather than later. However, we cannot forget that the process of getting there is just as important as the destination itself. As we follow Jesus Christ and keep His commandments, we are changed to become more like the Savior. The trials that accompany this period of growth are essential the eternal reward of being with our families forever, for “after much tribulation come the blessings (DC 58:4).”
In a world that revolves around money, it can be stressful to know how we can support our families and make the most of the resources we obtain. We should feel grateful to know that in the Lord’s Church, Jesus Christ provides direction on how temporal resources can be used to further His work. He instructs the saints in Doctrine and Covenants 51 to collect money, food, and clothing to help provide for each other. We also read of the commandment to build a bishop’s storehouse.
