Preparation

  1. Read, ponder, and pray about the following scriptures:
  2. Additional reading: 3 Nephi 18:1–14; Moroni 7:44–48; 10:8–18; Doctrine and Covenants 46:1–26; 76:50–119; 88:27–32, 95–102.
  3. If the following pictures are available, use some of them during the lesson to illustrate charity: Waiting Our Turn (62316); Sharing the Tricycle (62317); Family Fun (62384); Administering to the Sick (62342; Gospel Art Picture Kit 613); Home Teaching (Gospel Art Picture Kit 614); Serving One Another (Gospel Art Picture Kit 615).
  4. Suggestion for teaching: To teach the gospel effectively, teachers need the gift of an understanding heart. To better understand class members’ needs, teachers should have charity and be guided by the Holy Spirit. Teachers should prayerfully consider the needs of each class member and how to help meet those needs. (See Teaching, No Greater Call [36123], pages 12–13, 31–39, 92, 98–99, 102.)
