Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
By Coleen Machiel Castro Coleen Machiel Castro : Today for sections 31 &32 I was lucky to have one of our missionaries from our ward who returned last night come and speak about blessings he received on his mission. Then we played “pass the chalk” students skimmed the sections for blessings the Thomas, Parley, and Ziba would receive. They would write one on chalkboard and pass the chalk to another…

Today, they learned the benefit of companionships, as they studied together the created challenges I presented them with classmates struggling with scripture study. The benefit was twofold; they worked together much like a mission companionship would…

By Lynn Durkee Lynn Durkee: We are doing Gabrielle West’s missionary week and I called my kids today! I used the mission page (www.lds.org/new-era/1973/06/missions-of-the-church-of-jesus-christ-of-latter-day-saints?lang=eng) to select 20 missions and wrote each of them on one of the cards.

Feel free to add more ideas in the comments! I’m not a fan of Halloween themed Sunday activities, even just candy or pumpkins.
