To start this Come Follow Me lesson, ask your children if they could be given anything what would it be? Let each family member take a turn to respond. Read together 3 Nephi 28. Use the 3 Nephi 28 Foldable Book. Let the children color it and put it together. Then let them retell the story using their book. Explain that Christ gave the Disciples whatever they wanted. It was spreading the gospel that brought them joy and happiness.
Read 4 Nephi 1:1-18 as a family or read it before hand and summarize the verses for your family. For younger children use the People Puppets to help discuss what true happiness is. For older children use the Guide to Happiness Activity.
As a bonus activity, read together 3 Nephi 27:1-12. Discuss as a family why it is important to be called “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints” Make the crown and share one reason you are grateful to be a member of the church.
Read together 3 Nephi 27:7. Complete the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints puzzle.

Pharaoh resisted the call of the Lord’s prophet to let the Israelite’s leave Egypt. Signs were given as evidence of the Lord’s willingness to do whatever was necessary to free His people. The consequences of not following the prophet were very real.
We have already read several references to Jesus Christ’s atonement and resurrection in the Old Testament: the Flood that cleansed the world of wickedness, Abraham’s sacrifice of his son, and Joseph saving his family from the famine, just to name a few. These stories help us understand that the world has been readying for the Savior’s mortal ministry thousands of years before He would be born. It all leads to Him.
Moses grew from a helpless Hebrew infant to Egyptian royalty. Yet that wasn’t where God needed him. As a refugee, Moses was called to be the most significant prophet of the Old Testament. Through Moses, the Lord redeemed His people, established His covenant, and reminded the world that God will not forget those who follow Him.
