Follow the Prophet

How can we follow the prophet if we don't know what they've counseled us to do?!? Here's the perfect chance for your family to learn. This is a quick and simple lesson. 4pm Monday afternoon? You're starting dinner and you remember: It's MONDAY! Quick! What'll we do for FHE? Well, here's a quick idea that you can pull together while that casserole cooks.

Things You'll Need: Go to LDS.org and search for the name of one of our prophets. It'll bring up a list of a bunch of talks they've given or small biographies about them. Choose one and print it out.

Song: Primary Children's Songbook, Follow the Prophet, page 110.

Lesson: Read the talk or story you previously printed off. Discuss it with your family.

Activity: Make homemade Ice Cream. If you have an ice cream maker, go ahead and use that. If not, HERE is a recipe for homemade ice cream in a zippy bag! If you are doing a "mini-series" of sorts, you may have to rotate treats and activities. If you read a brief biography, find something that our prophet enjoyed doing and do it, too.

Treat: Your Homemade Ice Cream, of course!
