As the Book of Mormon was being translated, there must have been so much new information that Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery read from the gold plates: prayer, baptism, and the atonement of Christ to name just a few. Nephi’s direction that all must “take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism” (2 Nephi 31:13) might have prompted questions on whether or not they should be baptized.
In response to their study and prayer, Joseph and Oliver were visited by angels, given the Aaronic priesthood, and the authority to baptize one another. As we also study the words of God and pray about their meaning, we can be enlightened with revelation for our own lives.

The lesson for this week is simplified but intentional to focus your thoughts and efforts on the Savior and His birth. We hope you take the time to use the activities provided to incorporate the light of Christ into your lives and into this special season
Scripture Study
Read D&C 13 as a family. Discuss why the ordination of Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery to the Aaronic priesthood is important. As a family, complete the Responsibilities of Aaronic Priesthood Holders sheet that shows what those with the Aaronic Priesthood have the authority to do. Share experiences you have had with those who hold this priesthood and how it blesses your life.
Go & Do Activity
In the year 2020, the 200th anniversary of Joseph Smith’s First Vision was celebrated through a Bicentennial Proclamation to the World. Watch and read the proclamation as a family. Then, discuss how you feel. Send the video link to family members and challenge them to watch or read the proclamation during their Come, Follow Me lesson this week.
Hands-On Activity
Missionaries are serving all around the world right now! You might even know someone serving right now! Read D&C 12 about those called to be missionaries. The work is hard, but it is a great blessing to those who serve. Use the Missionary Paper Dolls as a fun Sabbath activity. Act out lessons, teach what you learned in church this week and share your testimony.

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams.
Go & Do Activity
Prepare The Right Way maze arrows and signs. Before your lesson, create a maze by placing them around your home using tape. As a family, read D&C 14:7 and teach that Heavenly Father has given us a plan and a way to return to Him one day. When we are happy and making the right choices, we are on the right path back to Him. Keeping the commandments or doing the things Jesus asks us to do is another way to stay on the right path. One of the biggest blessings of choosing the right is eternal life and happiness. Sing or play “Choose the Right Way” (Children’s Songbook, pg. 160) as you complete your maze. Let your children make their own mazes throughout the week as a reminder to choose the right way back to Jesus Christ!
