  2. Additional reading: Moroni 7:48; Doctrine and Covenants 45:3–5.
  3. If you use the attention activity, bring a family photograph or one of the following pictures: A Family Working Together (62313); Family Fun (62384); or Family Togetherness (Gospel Art Picture Kit 616).
  4. Suggestion for teaching: “As you take time to prepare thoughtfully and prayerfully, you will be blessed with greater understanding. You will be more receptive to the guidance of the Spirit. … Remember that in your efforts to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ, it is not enough to simply prepare lessons. You also need to prepare yourself” (Teaching, No Greater Call [36123], 97).
