These missionary tags are adorable! My kids loved that they look so real. I laminated mine and printed on card stock and attached with a safety pin. See the instructions in the lesson materials of how to customize your missionary tags for your family.
We enjoyed learning about each others talents! We discussed the difference between physical and spiritual gifts and talents. We opened gifts from these cute colorful boxes which my kids LOVED! We sorted the images and read about the parable of the talents from the bible.
Our coloring page created by the lovely Wood Coop are always a hit too!
What a great way to teach that our Heavenly Father really does expect us to use our gifts wisely. We each have a part in spreading the gospel to all the world and certainly our spiritual and physical gifts can help us do that.

Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, but he found that once they were in the wilderness, it wasn’t so easy to take Egypt out of the Israelites. Even with the many miracles and signs the people had witnessed, they still wanted to return to a life of slavery with every hardship they encountered. If the Israelites were to be the Lord’s chosen people, this could not be.
How did Moses prepare the Israelites to make covenants with the Lord? We read in Exodus 25 that God gave commandments to His people to help them be ready for greater covenant blessings when He would “dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8). Even though the Israelites struggled to keep these commandments, they were eventually blessed as they remained true to the Lord. We will also receive all promised blessings as we live our lives in faithfulness.
Following the 10 Plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, you would think that the Israelites were in a powerful place spiritually. They had seen incredible miracles and had sure witnesses that the Lord was with them. Yet, upon facing a shortage of food and water, the people were willing to abandon everything God had done for them and return to slavery: “Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt… when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness” (Exodus 16:3).
