[your worth]


 

A Lamborghini is just "stuff". Your spirit is eternal and worth more than you can imagine. The Father of your spirit is God, the Heavenly King, the Creator of "worlds without number". You also have a Heavenly Mother. You are of royal lineage. You are an eternal being whose destiny is beyond amazing. Every single person you meet out there in the world is a literal son or daughter of God.

"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God."
Romans 8:16

[D&C 14:2 Come Follow Me lesson handouts]


I'm teaching 11- and 12-year-olds in Sunday School at the moment. We have been in complete Covid-19 lockdown for a while now so it's quite miserable for everyone. Online lessons just aren't the same as in-person either. I wanted to do something special and fun for the upcoming third Sunday lesson. I had seen these kinds of "instruction drawings" on Pinterest and thought to make these handouts for the kids.

 The first photos are what they will look like once the kids have finished drawing them as per instructions. The bottom ones are the actual handouts I will be mailing to them with the instruction not to open the envelope until the exact time of our online lesson. We will talk about how the scriptures are like the seed that grows into a tree and bears fruit. Or like a two-edged sword. Or like rain and snow that water the earth and allows us to grow food. Etc.

These handouts took a while to make so I hope someone else can use them as well. :)

The snowflake instructions are only for half of the snowflake. The kids have to mirror the drawing to the other side making it a bit more challenging. 

The mouths need to be drawn.

[Don't worry about me. I don't exist.]

 


"Satan would prefer that we forgot he exists - or that we at least fail to recognize his attempts to influence us."
