1 Nephi 16-22

“I Will Prepare the Way Before You”

Scripture:

1 Nephi 17: 7-10

And it came to pass that after I, Nephi, had been in the land of Bountiful for the space of many days, the voice of the Lord came unto me, saying: aArise, and get thee into the mountain. And it came to pass that I arose and went up into the mountain, and cried unto the Lord.

And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto me, saying: Thou shalt aconstruct a ship, after the bmanner which I shall show thee, that I may carry thy people across these waters.

And I said: Lord, whither shall I go that I may find ore to molten, that I may make atools to construct the ship after the manner which thou hast shown unto me?

And it came to pass that the Lord told me whither I should go to find ore, that I might make tools.

Liahona:

The Liahona was given to Lehi in 1 Nephi 16:10. And it pointed the way that they should go. It also displayed writings and instructions.

I got the idea from http://www.iheartprimarymusic.com about making a little Liahona to point us the way that we should go this week in our studies this week in Come Follow Me. I just used the materials from the manual and assigned a day to it as well as a question or a task (like build a ship or make a bow).

I feel like the scriptures, the words or the prophets, the awesome inspired materials (like Come, Follow Me), and the gift of the Holy Ghost help lead us on the path that our Heavenly Father wants us to go.

I hope that you enjoy the free printable. I am NOT a graphic designer (but I’d love to learn). I know the graphics are simple but I hope it helps your family this week!

Activity #1 Build a boat:

Build a boat. You can do it as a family or individually. We are each going to make our own version of our boat that Nephi was commanded to build. We will have some materials out and each child can use their creativity to see if they can make a boat where 2 LEGO people can stay in and stay dry.

Here are some supplies that you can provide for shipbuilding:

  • paper
  • cardboard
  • duct tape
  • aluminum foil
  • egg cartons
  • straws
  • craft sticks
  • scrap wood
  • glue
  • tape
  • pool noodles (cut up)
  • milk carton
  • toilet paper rolls
  • scissors

We are going to put a 10-15 minute time limit on the building and then fill the tub and see which ones float and celebrate everyone’s efforts.

Treat:

A Banana Boat Sunday

Activity #2 build your own bow and arrow:

We made ours with popsicle sticks but there are lots of ways to do make a bow. I was super surprised with how far these things could shoot.

Build a bow and arrow and then target practice. I’d like to print out pictures of what we are going to have for dinner and then have them hit the target before they are allowed to eat dinner.

I have seen some really fun ideas online on how to make a bow and arrow.

My 3 favorites are:

1- Making a bow and arrow out of popsicle sticks and q-tips from Raising Young Ones:

Here is what I ended up doing:

I cut a little into each side of a Popsicle stick. I used the big popsicle sticks but I think I’m going to use the normal size when I make it with the kids. I got a little carried away with cutting a groove, it doesn’t need to be that far down.
Soak the sticks for at least an hour. When I made these I had 3 to pick from and I broke 2 of them trying to do it. Hence, next time I’m going to use the normal size craft sticks (or Popsicle sticks)
I used tied one of the ends of the string and fit it in the groove that I cut and slowly bent the stick into the desired curve. Then I tied another knot in the other end of the string. And just like that you have your very own bow. I cut the end off a q-tip and I had an arrow. They flew surprisingly well.

2- Make a bow and arrow out of a hanger from wikihow

I’d love to see what your family ends up doing this week in Come, Follow Me.

I love the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I'm so grateful for the resources that it has given us to get to know our Savior more. I have a supportive husband and 4 great kids. Here is some of the things we do in our home to implement Come Follow Me.
