Sometimes, things just don’t work out the way we had planned: dinner gets burnt, the car won’t start, or you unexpectedly get laid off from your job. You’ve been promised blessings for keeping the commandments. It might be tempting to wonder where those blessings are when ill fortune strikes.
Thankfully, we know the Lord’s plan of happiness takes into account both blessings and hardships. No matter what happens at home or out in the world, we can choose to “stand… in holy places” by offering a simple prayer (Doctrine and Covenants 87:8). We can reach out to the Lord in our moment of pain to ask Him to comfort us and to give us the strength to endure. No matter what life’s challenges bring, He will be there for us as we choose to remain unmoved in our faith.

Scripture Study
It’s time to Break the Code! Complete the puzzle as you read D&C 87:8 as a family and discuss the importance of holy places. Make a list of places that are holy and how holy places can be wherever righteous saints gather. Place the completed puzzle next to a picture of the temple to remind you of holy places all week.
Go & Do Activity
Years before the American Civil War, Joseph Smith received a revelation of a drawn-out conflict between the U.S. northern and southern states. Section 87 in the Doctrine and Covenants is a testament that prophets receive divine revelation from God. This week’s Go & Do Activity teaches us that latter-day prophets receive similar revelations for our day.
Hands-On Activity
As you read D&C 86:1-7 as a family, use the Parable of the Sower Picture Key as a visual for children to understand the story. After you finish, discuss the symbolism of the wheat and tares. Gather cereal and glue to create your own wheat stalks on the wheat and light activity page. Discuss how you can share your light while completing the craft.

Go & Do Activity
Start by discussing why we exercise (to keep our bodies healthy and strong). Read D&C 86:4 and talk about the importance of strengthening our testimonies and making sure they are healthy and strong. Discuss some things you can do to strengthen your testimony. Write down your ideas and put them in a jar or bowl. Pick one out each day this week and do a body exercise and a testimony exercise to make sure that both your bodies and testimonies are getting strong! Play Simon Says (Exercise Version) by saying “Simon Says” and then an exercise move like jumping jacks.

Pharaoh resisted the call of the Lord’s prophet to let the Israelite’s leave Egypt. Signs were given as evidence of the Lord’s willingness to do whatever was necessary to free His people. The consequences of not following the prophet were very real.
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.
