The establishment of the Church, while joyous, did not result in peace. Persecutions have always been the world’s reaction to gospel truths. Yet even when troubles arose, the Lord comforted His saints with peace: “Be patient in afflictions, for thou shalt have many; but… I am with thee” (D&C 24:8). Through their trials, the saints grew their faith in Jesus Christ.
When we are faced with trials, we should not think of them as punishments or “bad luck.” All things are meant for our good as children of God. In our families, we grow closer together as we make happy memories and find ways through difficulties. If we endure, we and our families will receive “a crown of righteousness” (D&C 25:15).

Hands-on Activity

Surprise Activity
Have your family of times they have felt the Spirit through music. Music is a powerful tool in feeling the Spirit and converting us to the gospel of Jesus Christ, as taught in D&C 25. Play the Hum Your Favorite Hymn Game to focus on how uplifting music draws us closer to Christ, and is a song of righteousness and a prayer.
Coloring Page
Emma Smith was tasked with compiling the first hymnal for the church. In D&C 25 we read that the Lord delights in music! Find your favorite hymns and sing them as a family while you color the “…for my soul delighteth in the song of the heart…” coloring page on uplifting and worthy music.

Go & Do Activity
Before the lesson, compile a list of your family’s favorite Primary songs/hymns. Write them on strips of paper or sticky notes. As a family, read D&C 25:12-13. Teach that Heavenly Father and Jesus want us to be happy, and want us to have the spirit. Explain that good songs, like the ones we sing at church, help us have those good feelings. They make us feel delighted and rejoice, just like the scriptures teach us. Next, take the papers and sprinkle them on the floor. Play freeze dance to a fun wiggle song. Explain to your child that when they hear the music stop, they need to go and jump on one paper and that will be the song that you sing together as a family. You could even mix it up and sing some songs then watch the lyric videos for others. There are a lot of great videos with pictures on YouTube. You could also put together the egg shakers and shake them while you sing some of the songs. Play this game for as long as your child finds it enjoyable.

It’s easy to wish the Lord would show us everything we need to do to be happy and successful. However, that’s not His way. Instead, we are to act under His guidance and do the things we feel would bring to pass righteousness. As He tells the saints in Doctrine and Covenants 62, do that “as seemeth you good, it mattereth not unto me; only be faithful.”
We all want to arrive at our own “promised land” or “Zion” sooner rather than later. However, we cannot forget that the process of getting there is just as important as the destination itself. As we follow Jesus Christ and keep His commandments, we are changed to become more like the Savior. The trials that accompany this period of growth are essential the eternal reward of being with our families forever, for “after much tribulation come the blessings (DC 58:4).”
In a world that revolves around money, it can be stressful to know how we can support our families and make the most of the resources we obtain. We should feel grateful to know that in the Lord’s Church, Jesus Christ provides direction on how temporal resources can be used to further His work. He instructs the saints in Doctrine and Covenants 51 to collect money, food, and clothing to help provide for each other. We also read of the commandment to build a bishop’s storehouse.
