Have you ever received a letter from a loved one filled with cherished advice? Those are the kind of messages we don’t throw away. Instead, we treasure them forever. In this week’s chapters, Moroni shares a few of the letters written by his father Mormon. These letters detail sacred teachings that have helped restore many lost doctrines in our day. They also include a personal witness from father to son of the importance of having charity, “the pure love of Christ” (Moroni 7:47).

Each one teaches gospel principles from the scriptures and includes everything you need to make Come, Follow Me fun for your kids!

This week, teach your children the chapters of Alma 43-52. You will find an activity book for your children (one for ages 3-6 and one for ages 7+). Print your activity book pages, then cut all of them in half, except the cover. You will fold the cover in half to help keep the pages together. Put all your pages in order inside the cover and then staple along the left-hand edge to keep it together. Make one book for each of your children (see lesson for details).
Hands-On Activity
Read Moroni 7:13-18, 20-25. Discuss what kinds of things come from God and how we will know it is from Him. How can we lay hold upon every good thing? Practice what that looks like through the Good & Evil “Boom, Clap, Snatch” Game.

Mormon has a special message in Moroni 7:46-47. Read the verses to your child and ask them to listen for the word “charity.” To help them remember, tell them the word sounds like cherry. Say, “The scriptures teach us to have charity.” Charity is the pure love of Christ. It means we need to love and serve others just as Jesus did. Ask, “Can you think of things we can do to show love to others?” Discuss scenarios and situations that might be relatable to them. Describe how, especially during Christmas time, we are encouraged to help others feel the love of the Savior. Tell your child they get to help you make a special treat to show their love for someone. Let your child pick the person they want to make Cherr-ity Christmas Bars for. See the recipe to bake the yummy dessert bars together, allowing your child to help as much as they desire. As the dessert bakes, you might let them draw a homemade card to go along with the treat. You could also color this week’s coloring page or watch the related videos from the media page. Once your delicious treat is finished, deliver the treat to who your child felt needs some love.

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
Doctrine and Covenants 97 was given to the saints as both a blessing of comfort and instruction. With persecution growing around them, the saints needed to know the will of the Lord to guide them. Jesus Christ spoke peace to the saints through the Prophet Joseph, encouraging them to wait “patiently on the Lord” and to do what He would do, even if it meant further persecution (D&C 97:2).
It’s easy to think that, as parents, we’re not doing enough to give our children a good life. The world is always persuading us to look at what others are doing and tells us our kids are missing out on extravagant trips, the latest entertainment systems, and privileged extracurricular activities. Yet these experiences will fall short of the positive impact that regular family prayer, daily scripture study, and keeping covenants can have on our children.
