A puzzle for Doctrine & Covenants chapters 37 - 40.

The answer is "GO TO THE OHIO". (See D&C 37)

I don't think the "the" in the sentence is a mistake. In a later chapter, the Lord says "people in Ohio". I was puzzled by the "the" so I did some research. 

Ohio means "great river" in the Iroquois language. 

In Kirtland, a great river of knowledge and power flowed from Heaven to the early Saints as they received their endowments. You'll gain added insight if you search scriptures about "living water" and "river".

[study journal]

 

When I study the gospel, I like to keep a study journal. I'm a very visual person so pictures help me remember things.

I purchased a new notebook just for General Conference. 

In Relief Society, we will be discussing Elder Teixeira's talk so I started my journaling with his talk. I had to leave some pages empty at the beginning of the notebook for President Nelson's messages. The prophet's message needs to be the first in the notebook in my humble opinion. 

Anyways, this kind of journaling makes studying more fun and for sure you'll remember things better than if you just read.

[the whole armor of God]

Made these for my youth Sunday School lesson on Doctrine & Covenants 27 & 28. Hopefully, someone else can use them too.

[D&C 20-22]

 

[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.
