Doctrine and Covenants 10–11

Overview

The Lord explained what happened to the lost 116 manuscript pages of the Book of Mormon and how the work of translation was to continue. Hyrum Smith desired to assist in the Restoration of the Lord’s Church and was given counsel of how to prepare himself to serve.

Encourage learners to share the truths they are learning: Giving students an opportunity to verbalize thoughts and feelings can help them feel the Holy Ghost teach or testify of truth. Find moments in the lesson when you can invite students to ponder what they are learning and share. For more on how the Savior did this, see the section “The Savior Encouraged Others to Share the Truths They Were Learning” in Teaching in the Savior’s Way. You can also see an example of how to do this in the lesson this week titled “Doctrine and Covenants 10.”

Prepare to teach

The following information provides you with ideas of what you may need to prepare in advance for each lesson.
