Look at the picture on page 81 of the Come Follow Me Manual for Individuals and Families. Have the kids talk about what they see in the picture. Explain that this week we are going to be learning about an angel coming to Alma the younger and calling him to repentance.
After you read about Alma the younger in the scriptures let each child make the Alma the Younger Conversion Story Wheel to help them summarize the story.
Explain that just like Alma was forgiven we can also be forgiven when we repent. Complete the steps of repentance activity and let each child make a repentance mobile.
After Alma the younger was forgiven he went on to be a missionary. Color the I Can Be a Missionary Now coloring page.
Use the Forgiveness Bridge Activity as a bonus lesson this week. complete the word scramble, print, and coloring page.
Other bonus activities this week include: scripture marking guides, Truths God Revealed to Alma activity, and watching the Book of Mormon video that goes along with the lesson this week.
See your summary page for more details on the lesson and bonus activities to do this week.

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.
During times of trial and difficulty, we might want to know why we’re going through them and how we can have happy times again. We might not know all the answers right now, but we are promised that one day, we will. In Doctrine and Covenants 50:24, we read that as we “continueth in God,” the light and knowledge we receive from Him will grow “brighter and brighter until the perfect day.”
