[start TODAY to increase your faith]

 

[John and John]

I made this handout for my Sunday School class. Sometimes it's nice to learn in detail who's who in the scriptures. The New Testament stories will become more dear to us as we get to know the people better. 

[I am with you]

Sharing my favorite art of Jesus Christ (painted by Minerva Teichert) and some of my favorite scriptures of Him with my Sunday School class. All of these scriptures testify that the Savior is with us, in our midst. ♥

[quotes on women]

I'm making some quote cards for our Relief Society party and thought I'd share them here too.

I love how the gospel has brought me a better perspective on being a woman. I know my role is just as important as any man's. I love that my desire to be a mother is respected and honored. I love how our Church leaders make me feel valued, appreciated and loved.

Men and women don't need to be the same to be equal. I can have joy in being a woman. The softening touch of women is so needed in today's hard world!

["Valentine's Day theme" FHE]

February is all about LOVE, right? I made these hearts for our Family Home Evening. These are just the first ones. I'll come and add the rest as I'll make them. We'll be talking about LOVE all month.

Tonight we talked about how it is a commandment to love everyone, not just "a friendly suggestion". Then we read 1 Corinthians 13: 1-4 and talked about in detail what each aspect of charity means. We'll do the rest of the charity (=LOVE) verses during next FHEs, plus other LOVE themed scriptures and stories.

Tonight we ended the discussion with this scripture from Moroni 7. We talked about how there are two things we can do to acquire charity:

1. Pray to Heavenly Father with all the energy of heart to be filled with this kind of love.

2. Be a true follower of Jesus Christ.

[FHE handout - the great apostasy]

Here's the next handout to go with the Preach My Gospel manual. This goes with the topic "The Great Apostasy" on page 35. You can talk about the church Jesus organized while he was on earth. To find out what the foundation of the church was, you play "Hangman" (I prefer to draw a flower instead) to find the two words: priesthood and revelation. You can then talk about how Jesus called 12 apostles to lead his church. Jesus gave them authority (priesthood) to teach his gospel and to administer the ordinances correctly. Jesus gave them revelation how to lead the church the way he wanted it to be lead. Then you can talk about how the apostles were killed. There were no more priesthood on earth = no more revelation. People started to disagree about doctrine and teach the gospel in their own way. Etc. 

To use the handout, just right click on the first picture, save it as a JPG file into your computer, then insert the picture into a Microsoft Word document and print it out. 

[different way to think]

I was watching this BYU Women's Conference talk by Elder Oaks when I came across this quote. Love it! :)

[favorite quotes from the prophet]

I made this for Activity Days but it can be used for family home evenings or other lessons too. 

On page 6 of the Faith in God booklet, one of the goals says "Read a recent conference address given by the prophet. Decide what you can do to follow the prophet, and do it."

We will be reading his talk "Obedience Brings Blessings" and highlighting passages that especially speak to us. Then we'll write down four things from the talk that we can work on.

ps. We also ended up tracing the prophet's picture with the help of a tracing light table.

[study aids for children]

I have been trying to decide how to teach the Gospel to our daughter so it's fun and she will understand all the basics. I finally decided what to do. I'm going to use the "Preach My Gospel" manual and make fun study pages for her. Here is the first one I made. It goes along pages 31 and 32. 

I'll continue to share these as I make more.

To use the study page, just click on the image and a larger version of it will open up. Right click the picture. Either "copy" and "paste" the picture onto a Microsoft Word document or save the picture as a JPG file in your computer and then import it to Microsoft Word.
