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.

Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers did not come after they had paid restitution or offered an apology. He forgave them the moment he realized they had changed from their jealous ways when they offered themselves in place of Benjamin for punishment. How overwhelming it must have been for Joseph to see such love amongst his brothers. His forgiveness came with no strings attached: “be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves” (Genesis 45:5).
In every moment of Joseph’s story, God was with him. From his brothers’ betrayal and serving Potiphar, to a friend of Pharaoh and the savior of his family, at no time was Joseph forgotten by God. Through the good and the bad, he trusted that God knew who he was and had faith that everything would be all right.
Abraham’s posterity was promised many blessings of eternal significance, but that didn’t mean everything would be perfect. His grandsons, Jacob and Esau, fought over who should inherit their father’s birthright. Relatives lied to and tricked each other. The prophet’s very own family was dysfunctional, yet that didn’t stop those who were righteous from striving to follow Jesus Christ.
