A Strong Foundation

Illustrations by Steven Keele

Helaman taught that we need to build our foundation on Jesus Christ (see Helaman 5:12). That means doing things that will bring us closer to Him. When we do, we will be able to withstand hard things in life.

1. Cut out the rocks on this page.

2. Choose a rock and read the scripture on it. How does doing that thing make you strong and bring you closer to Christ?

3. Put the rock under the temple to build a strong foundation. Keep playing until all the rocks are in place.

• Reading the scriptures (see John 5:39)

• Praying (see Doctrine and Covenants 10:5)

• Paying tithing (see Malachi 3:10)

• Going to church (see Moroni 6:5–6)

• Living the Word of Wisdom (see Doctrine and Covenants 89:18–20)

• Repenting (see Acts 3:19)

• Loving others (see John 13:34)

• Being baptized (see 2 Nephi 31:5)

Bonus! Can you guess what country this temple is in? Hint: It is in the city of Madrid.
