When Jesus visited the Nephites, He taught them about baptism and how to take the sacrament. He set up His Church.

Jesus blessed each child. Angels came! Jesus healed the people and prayed for them. Then He went back to heaven.

After Jesus left, people kept doing what He taught. Everyone worked together and shared what they had, so no one was poor. Church leaders blessed those who were sick.

Instead of fighting, people chose to get along. Everyone followed God’s commandments. And they were happy for a long time!

My life will be happier when I follow God’s commandments. I can share what I have with others. I can help people get along.
