Free Come Follow Me Lesson Helps: Nephi 12-16

How is everyone holding up? This has been quite the week for me.  My oldest started online school and oh has it been a learning curve for us.  Trying to help her navigate the new online platform and catching up on two weeks worth of school work has been exhausting for both of us.  Throw in homeschooling, teaching preschool, helping my middle schooler, and all of the other everyday chores that need to be done. I was trying to figure out when I would be able to create the activities for this week when I realized I already have a ton of activities that are perfect for these chapters. When Christ came he taught the people the beatitudes, about being a light, praying, and so many other things he taught before.  I loved being able to study these teaching again.  

You can find tons of ideas for chapter 12 here including these two activities.

Ideas for Prayer, choosing the right even when no one is watching, and the wise man and foolish man can be found here.

I hope you will find something in these posts to help you teach your family this week.  I had a couple of ideas I was planning on doing and if time I will add to this post.  I hope you have a wonderful week :)

My sweet friend did translate some of the activities into German.  You can find them below.

Free Come Follow Me Lesson Help: 3 Nephi 8-11

I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday.  I normally jump right to the lesson helps I created for Come Follow Me but today I wanted to share a few thoughts that came to me as I studied these chapters. Writing is not really a talent of mine but I hope the message I'm trying to share will come through.  This week as I read 3 Nephi 8-11 it seemed to take on a new meaning. The natural disasters, the fear, the chaos, even the anger and wickedness that happened before the destruction seemed all to familiar. The darkness that settled on them now seems all to real and more relatable. Then I read the next chapter. The Savior spoke to them, he came, he brought light, and peace.  He does this now.  He brings light and peace to our lives and hearts as we let him in.  As we learn of him and hear his words and as we follow his example that feeling of love, comfort, and joy can be felt even when things around us seem dark, out of our control and in some cases impossible. He is always there. 

I am so happy to have the chance to reread these chapters with my family this week and to study more about Christ's visit to the Nephites. We have one of the illustrated Book of Mormons and my daughter has been counting down the weeks for these chapters because one image is "the whole page!" It must be pretty special :)   

You can find the free lesson helps in the download below.  I hope you have a wonderful week and thank you so much for stopping by.

Come Follow Me: 3 Nephi 1-7

Happy Sunday!  I hope you have had a wonderful week.  We've been busy and enjoying our long weekend.  Today we were able to attend our first fast and testimony meeting in a long time.  It was one of those things I didn't realize how much I missed it until it happened.  It was so good for me and now I need to figure out how to not cry every time someone speaks. Masks and crying are not a good combination haha.  Have you been able to go back to church yet?  I know its different in every area. Today I have some really fun and free Come Follow Me lesson helps for 3 Nephi 1-7.  We are going to be talking about the Nephites seeing the new star and being a disciple of Jesus Christ.  I hope there is something that works for your family or primary class.  

All of the instructions and free printables are in the download below.  If you have any questions or trouble with the download please let me know!  Have a wonderful week and thank you so much for stopping by!

25 Fun and Quirky Holidays to Celebrate with your Kids in September.

I just wanted to start by saying Thank You to all of you for your support and kindness.  It really means so much to me and I am constantly surprised and so grateful that you would take time to visit me on my little corner of the internet.   It's been a week-busy, fun, exhausting, and so many other emotions that seem to change minute to minute. I hope you all are doing well and navigating through this crazy time safe and healthy.  

I know I am a little late posting this calendar but I hope you will still find many fun holidays to celebrate this month. Its something we love and it helps me plan activities and freeze on my never ending to do list and spend time with my family.  Now we do not celebrate every holiday (let's be honest we miss most of them) and the ones we do celebrate are often simple.  Do what works for you and I hope this helps spark some ideas and fun!  

This month I found 25 fun holidays to include on our September Calendar (most I didn't know existed).  Pick a few or all and have fun :)

Download a copy of the calendar, print, and display.  After that have fun creating some special memories with your little ones.

Come Follow Me Lesson Helps: Helaman 13-16

 

Happy Sunday!  I hope you week has been great.  We've been busy with all things school.  

This week during our Come Follow Me scripture study we are going to be discussing Samuel the Lamanite.  You may notice a theme as you scroll through the activities of hearts and arrows.  In these chapters we learn the the spirit speaks to us in our hearts.  We are going to discuss ways we can draw closer to the spirit and allow the Spirit to speak to us or are we sometimes allowing things to prevent us from letting the Spirit in our lives (these are the arrows).  

I hope you find something that works for your family or primary class.  If you have any questions or trouble with the download please let me know.
