Guide to the Friend
Possible Ideas for Family Home Evening
-
Together, read “Quest for Testimony” (pages 2–3). Fill a small cup with soil and plant a seed. Work together to care for the plant and watch it grow. It can be a reminder to nurture your testimony each day.
-
Read “A Light in the Dark” (pages 4–6). As a family, discuss what you can do to help the missionaries in your area. Write letters or draw pictures to send to a missionary you know from your family, ward, or neighborhood.
-
Use the Bringing Primary Home lesson and activity to learn more about this month’s Primary theme (pages 42–43).
-
Study the scriptures together. Use the ideas from “Family Scripture Fun” (page 24) to help your family learn from what you read.
-
Read Elder Holland’s message on page 27. Take turns sharing what you are grateful for. Use the activity, “A Box of Blessings” (page 46), to make gratitude journal boxes.
