Elder Ulisses Soares (Apr. '20): "The Coming Forth of the Book of Mormon"

on

Explanation:

The ideas in this blog are meant to be used in small, home-like environments (2-5 people), although any of them could be adapted for other contexts.  I am also envisioning these activities as guided by a parent(s), but again that need not be the case.  For teaching ideas to use in Relief Society and Elders Quorum classes see my other blog here.  

For Adults:

  1. Discuss the blessings we can receive from studying the Book of Mormon.
  2. Read par. 18 ("Through these and . . . to the world") and par. 21 ("I bear my  . . . to know His Son, Jesus Christ").
  3. Mark and discuss the blessings that Elder Soares talks about in these passages.
  4. Take a moment to ponder times when you might have felt these or other blessings not already discussed.

For Teens:

  1. Read par. 20 ("I invite you . . . your own life").
  2. Explain that this coming forth continues for a lifetime and is all about discovering and growing a testimony.
  3. Read par. 16-19 ("I read the . . . book of scripture").
  4. Ask the teens to make 2 lists as they read this passage.
    1. What Elder Soares did/does to build his testimony.
    2. How/what he felt through the Spirit.

For Tweens/Kids:

  1. Read (or listen to) par. 3-14 ("The coming forth . . . this sacred book").
  2. As you read, make a list with the tweens/kids of the events Elder Soares highlights in the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.
  3. Discuss how these events were miraculous and talk about (answer) questions that anyone might have.
