Word of Wisdom – Care Manual for our bodies

Jennifer Smith March 30, 2010

Explain that when a consumer purchases a new vehicle or appliance, the manufacturer provides instructions on the care and maintenance of the machine. (If you brought an owner’s manual, show it to class members with a short explanation of what it contains.) By following the recommended instructions, a person can expect better performance and longer use from the vehicle or appliance. What may happen if the owner ignores the manufacturer’s…

Cell Phone / Prayer

Jennifer Smith January 24, 2010

Hold up a cell phone and ask if anyone has ever used one. Ask them to name places where they’ve used a cell phone. Answers may include in a car, outside, in the house, even on a boat. Now ask the class why they have used a cell phone. Answers may include I needed information, when I needed help, when I may be lost and not know directions, or when…

Don’t judge a Kiwi by it’s cover

Jennifer Smith January 24, 2010

Pass around the kiwi fruit. Make the point that the kiwi has a rough, unpleasant, hairy, tasteless exterior. Ask the students the following questions: 1) What makes the kiwi fruit seem unappealing? (It’s exterior.) 2) What are some outward features by which we judge others? 3) Who might be “kiwi people” around us? When the fruit has been examined by everyone, peel off the skin, and slice up the inside…

Marriage and Donuts

Jennifer Smith April 21, 2007

I am comparing marriage to donuts and cinnamon rolls. A donut is like a temporal marriage, sweet and delicious but built around a big hole- till death do we part. The cinnamon roll is also sweet but has no hole. I also have a hand out of a donut for each girl with a note attached saying- “donut” settle- marry the right person in the right place at the right…

Sealing Power of the Priesthood

Jennifer Smith February 18, 2006

Talk about how we all spend a lot of love, effort and energy building wonderful, beautiful families. Liken it to the work it takes to get all the little fuse beads just the way you want them in the correct colors and patterns on the peg board. Note how the pieces are little and all go together to make the whole picture and we have to choose them and handle…

Priesthood Authority

Jennifer Smith February 18, 2006

Take a “Master” lock and attach a sign to it that says “Eternal Life”. The only way to get the “Eternal Life” is if you unlock the lock. I have several keys that you can give to a class member and let him/her take one and pass the rest to the person beside them. That person takes one and passes the rest until they are all passed out. Then discuss…

Apostasy and Restoration

Jennifer Smith June 30, 2005

The period of time when the true Church no longer existed on earth is called the Great Apostasy. (Gospel Principles, Lesson 16: The Church of Jesus Christ in Former Times) Priesthood authority was restored to the earth by Jesus Christ through the prophet Joseph Smith. That has a lot of big words. What does it mean? Pretend that this building (Show the simple block building without the “Authority/Priesthood” block) represents…
