The lesson format is a little bit different this week than usual. Use your lesson summary page to follow along each day for the reading and activity to do. Also included on the summary page are some creative ideas for how to keep your children engaged while reading as a family.
Day 1: Read Alma chapter 17. Discuss what it means to be an instrument in the hands of the Lord. Complete the story of Ammon sequencing activity to review the story and finish by completing the coloring page.
Day 2: Before reading color and create the stick puppets. As you read chapter 18 let the children hold up the stick puppet when Ammon or King Lamoni is talking. A key has been provided at the bottom of the instructions page.
Day 3: Read chapter 19 and color and create the King Lamoni body puppet. Let the children move King Lamoni to laying asleep then awake. It may also be fun to read this chapter on your bed and let the children act out being King Lamoni. Finish by coloring the I Can Repent like King Lamoni coloring page.
Day 4: Give each child a map to Middoni activity page. As you chapter 20 have them draw in the things that happen along the way to Middoni.
Day 5: Share some personal missionary experiences with your family. Explain that we don’t have to go on a mission to share the gospel. We can be missionaries now. Read chapter 21 then let the children draw ways they can be a missionary. Use the world map as a playdough map and explain that the gospel will be preached all over the world.
Day 6: Read chapter 22. King Lamoni explains basic truth’s to his father. Color the basic truths coloring page.

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.
