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.

The Old Testament contains the earliest records of the prophets. Through their words, we learn of Jesus Christ’s role in creating the world and His purpose in doing so. We discover how faith in Christ, obedience, sacrifice, and love help us endure all things.
The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ renewed the truth that Christ was born to save all mankind. Through His mortal ministry, His suffering in Gethsemane and on the cross, His ministry in the Spirit World, and His resurrection, He offers healing to all our sorrows and pains. What greater gift could we be given than that?
Every family comes with their own set of trials and blessings. Parents and children alike have both memorable times together, as well as times in which forgiveness is needed to move forward in love and harmony. As the Proclamation teaches, Jesus Christ is the key to strengthening bonds and repairing relationships that break: “Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Ultimately, all we do as a family in righteousness prepares us to live with God, exalted, as a family in heaven.
