Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/1-nephi-8-gods-tree-is-great/ This is one of those lessons that I have a love-hate relationship with. I probably shouldn’t be this way, but there are certain scripture blocks where I just think, “How do I even begin to do justice to this set of scripture?” I feel like I am putting bumper sticker on a Ferrari–it’s just not […]
Downloaded from: http://ocdprimarychorister.blogspot.com/2013/09/review-things-i-do.html To review the song “The Things I Do,” I want to make sure that the children understand the message that they can be missionaries just by choosing the right. To accomplish this, I’ve put the song into my own words. Begin by reading this (or your own version) to the children. “I’m not old enough yet to go to another country and serve a full-time mission…

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/16/1-nephi-7-family-faith-forgiveness/ Because of pacing issues I was tempted to just summarize 1 Nephi 7 with story-line and move on to 1 Nephi 8 with the Tree of Life. But I had had a couple of other teachers (online friends) share their good experiences with 1 Nephi 7 and in an effort to fulfill the aim of […]

Downloaded from: http://ocdprimarychorister.blogspot.com/2013/09/song-things-i-do.html I plan to teach this song to my primary in October 2013 to complement the theme of Missionary Work. As it is written, the melody from the first verse is repeated for the second verse and then there is a change for the third and fourth verses.

Yup, I think so! It demonstrates the miracle of the Book of Mormon, including its structure and prophecies concerning the various plates. I really love teaching these chapters and the principles connected to them. The resources […]

I pointed out to those who hadn’t noticed yet that the Nike swooshes on the board created a face. I asked them, “Who do you think would be the ‘Just Do It!’ person in the Book […]
Downloaded from: http://littleldsideas.blogspot.com/2013/09/sharing-time-when-i-serve-others-i.html IDENTIFY THE DOCTRINE (memorizing a scripture): Help the children memorize the last part of Mosiah 2:17 by writing on the chalkboard, “When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.” Invite the children to repeat the phrase two or three times.

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/10/1-nephi-1-faithful-and-favored/ One of my favorite bumper stickers says, “Jesus loves you… But I’m His favorite!” I know it is just a bumper sticker, but I wish that everyone felt that way.
