Navigating Life’s Wilderness: DIY Compass Adventure

Hands-On Activity

Begin by reading 1 Nephi 16:10-16, 23-31, and 18:11-22. Talk about how the Liahona was dependent on the righteousness of Lehi’s family. Teach your children about how a modern compass works and then have fun making your own to play with. Consider going on a walk or treasure hunt to help your children understand the importance of following the direction of a compass, and how Lehi’s family needed the Liahona to guide them in the wilderness.

“Hear Thou in Heaven Their Prayer”

Going from tabernacle to temple was a big deal for the Israelites. So big, in fact, that even those building the temple had to be worthy of the task. David’s sin in his lust for Bathsheba disqualified him to build the Lord’s house, resulting in his son Solomon completing it.

Their need for what others’ possessed had decreased their faith in Him.
