Look at the picture on page 81 of the Come Follow Me Manual for Individuals and Families. Have the kids talk about what they see in the picture. Explain that this week we are going to be learning about an angel coming to Alma the younger and calling him to repentance.
After you read about Alma the younger in the scriptures let each child make the Alma the Younger Conversion Story Wheel to help them summarize the story.
Explain that just like Alma was forgiven we can also be forgiven when we repent. Complete the steps of repentance activity and let each child make a repentance mobile.
After Alma the younger was forgiven he went on to be a missionary. Color the I Can Be a Missionary Now coloring page.
Use the Forgiveness Bridge Activity as a bonus lesson this week. complete the word scramble, print, and coloring page.
Other bonus activities this week include: scripture marking guides, Truths God Revealed to Alma activity, and watching the Book of Mormon video that goes along with the lesson this week.
See your summary page for more details on the lesson and bonus activities to do this week.

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.
