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.

Parenting is not easy. The experiences of Adam and Eve show that being a parent has never been without trials and heartache. Yet through raising their family, they learned true happiness comes as we try to follow Jesus Christ. Eve said without the pain that had happened in her life, she “never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth” (Moses 5:11).
At the start of each new year, parents plan out activities and events for their family to do during the next 12 months. We hope to make happy memories, build our children’s character, and provide a refuge of emotional and spiritual support during hard times that will inevitably come. We want the best for our family and hope that at the end of the year, we will reflect on how good a year it was.
God knew the purpose of His creation before He began His work. As He told Moses, “This is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man (Moses 1:39). That purpose is the “why” for everything God does, including why He loves each of us.
