• “Living Prophets”: Ask children, ‟Who is the living prophet leading Jesus Christ’s church today?” Talk about him and share something he has said (see Friend magazine).
• “Scriptures”: Tell children that the scriptures teach us where we came from, why we are here on earth, and how to choose the right so we can live in heaven again someday.
