Begin this Come Follow Me lesson by letting everyone in the family name a positive characteristic about each member. Then explain that Mormon was a righteous man. Learn how we can be righteous like Mormon by using the Characteristics of Mormon Peek-a-Boo. Read each scripture and then lift the flap to reveal the characteristic.
After revealing all the characteristics discuss how you can apply them in your life.
At the end of the lesson give each child an I Can Be Be Righteous Like Mormon paper. Read the scriptures at the top. Let each child list 3 ways they can be more like Mormon. Let the younger kids can draw a picture.
Read together Mormon 5:10-11. Use the Egg-cellent Object Lesson to show how Godly sorrow leaves creates a true and lasting change. Then let the children create the visual aids.
Use the Scripture Story Guide to study Mormon 2:10-15.
Read together Mormon 3:3, 9. Discuss how sometimes even though we may not feel God’s hand in our life, he is always there. Use the Gratitude Journal label and prompts to help you see God’s hand in your life.

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.
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).
