We have multiple Come Follow Me subscriptions and multiple activities in each subscription to help you find what works best for your family. Our goal is to help families come closer to Christ and we’ve worked really hard on providing more options to help achieve our goal.
As a family discuss things you treasure. Ideas could include family, your home, the gospel, the temple, etc. Write your answers on the back of the gems. Read D&C 110-2, 9-11. Hide the treasure gems around the house. With your child go on a treasure hunt and collect all the gems. When your child has found all the gems, make a necklace using a hole punch and some yarn. Explain that as we search for the treasures Heavenly Father has given us, we find Jesus. As a bonus, complete the “Treasure Hunt to Christ” activity. Share your testimony about how Heavenly Father has blessed your family with eternal treasures and led you to Jesus.
Read D&C 111:2, 10-11 and discuss the difference between worldly treasures and treasures that come from God. Use the “Treasures of God” page to write on the apple gems the things you treasure that come from God. Then paste the apples to the tree and display the tree in your home where you can see it all week.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Before the lesson assemble your sheep and cut out the food for the “Feed My Sheep Activity.” Read D&C 112:14-15. Explain that the sheep in these verses are us, everyone who is living on this earth. Let each person pick a clover or a grass and read an example of how we can feed the sheep. As you read each example, share experiences or stories when you or someone you know has done each of these things.
Read D&C 112:11. Share ways you can let your love abound to all men. Let each person share a real life example of when they have shown love to others. Play the “Roll and Cover Game.” Once all the hearts are covered, let children trace the scripture on the printable. As an additional activity, complete the “Heart Lace Ups.”
The extra premium materials will only be available in your account during the current month, October 1st-31st.

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.
