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.

The Old Testament contains the earliest records of the prophets. Through their words, we learn of Jesus Christ’s role in creating the world and His purpose in doing so. We discover how faith in Christ, obedience, sacrifice, and love help us endure all things.
The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ renewed the truth that Christ was born to save all mankind. Through His mortal ministry, His suffering in Gethsemane and on the cross, His ministry in the Spirit World, and His resurrection, He offers healing to all our sorrows and pains. What greater gift could we be given than that?
Every family comes with their own set of trials and blessings. Parents and children alike have both memorable times together, as well as times in which forgiveness is needed to move forward in love and harmony. As the Proclamation teaches, Jesus Christ is the key to strengthening bonds and repairing relationships that break: “Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Ultimately, all we do as a family in righteousness prepares us to live with God, exalted, as a family in heaven.
