As the sole surviving Nephite, Moroni finishes the record of his people by adding in a few things that he felt we need in our day. From teachings about the Sacrament and Church attendance to clarifying doctrines about baptism and receiving the Holy Ghost. These scriptures are key to survival in times of darkness: “perhaps they may be of worth … in some future day” (Moroni 1:4).

This week, teach your children the chapters of Alma 43-52. You will find an activity book for your children (one for ages 3-6 and one for ages 7+). Print your activity book pages, then cut all of them in half, except the cover. You will fold the cover in half to help keep the pages together. Put all your pages in order inside the cover and then staple along the left-hand edge to keep it together. Make one book for each of your children (see lesson for details).
Scripture Study Activity

Help your child recognize what baptism is. After you do so, teach them that each of us can choose to be baptized. Some people decide to get baptized when they turn eight years old, and some people choose to be baptized when they are older. Explain to your child that they can be baptized when they turn eight years old. Decorate the “I Can’t Wait Until I’m 8 Birthday Cake” using markers, crayons, stickers, or finger paint. Help them count 8 birthday candles to stick on the cake. As you practice counting, decide how many more birthdays they will have before they turn eight. Encourage them to see that baptism is something we have to prepare for, not just an age that we turn. Read Moroni 6:2-3. Say, “This scripture teaches us that we should prepare for baptism by making good choices, keeping Jesus in our thoughts and be willing to serve Him forever. Ask, “What good choices can you make as you prepare to be baptized?” Discuss the things that will help them grow closer to Christ and be willing to make covenants with Him. Glue the 8 candles on the cake and sing “I Can’t Wait Until I’m Eight” from the Children’s Songbook pg. 104.

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.
