For Older Kids
Words from You
I usually feel a little scared when I go to bed. When I say my prayers, I feel peace and fall asleep quicker.
Vance R., age 9, Utah, USA
I lost my schoolbook and prayed to Heavenly Father to help me. I found it hidden under my clothes right in front of me. It helped me understand how important prayer is.
Minh P., age 11, Hanoi Province, Vietnam
The Good Shepherd
Learn how to draw a shepherd and his sheep. How does Jesus Christ help us when we feel like a lost sheep?
Standing in Holy Places
Jesus Christ wants us to “stand in holy places” (Doctrine and Covenants 45:32). We can feel the Spirit in holy places. Follow each child’s path to see which holy place they’re going to.
Little Lights
Joseph Smith taught, “That which is of God is light” (Doctrine and Covenants 50:24). Circle the item in each row that does not belong!
