Gifts of Resurrection & Eternal Life gift package
OBJECTIVE: Create a gift package to enclose a Rice Krispies Treat to describe two gifts from Jesus’ gift of the Atonement: Gift of Resurrection and Gift of Eternal Life. Alma 11:42–43 (the gift of resurrection) and Alma 11:40 (the gift of eternal life).
Tell the youth that they can earn these gifts given to them by Jesus by earning the gifts through obeying all of God’s commandments.
Lesson-Treat. Enclose the following Rice Krispies Treat and shape into an hourglass shape by tying two different strings tightly in a bow in the center of the treat.
Recipe: Melt 3 tablespoons margarine and a 10-ounce package of marshmallows (40 regular or four cups miniature) in a microwave, cooking two minutes, and stir. Repeat until melted smooth. Stir mixture into six cups of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies cereal. Butter a 12x9x2-inch pan and place treat in the pan. Cut warm treats into 6×2-inch bars and wrap them in clear plastic wrap.

MUTUAL NIGHT OR FAMILY NIGHT ACTIVITIES
TURN OUR FACES TOWARD THE SON: To encourage youth to feel the warmth that can come from having Jesus Christ in their lives and to see things clearly with His light, begin by setting up a room with a sun lamp. Talk about repentance and the Atonement. Turn out the lights and talk about Satan’s plan. Tell how some people see physically (the light) but do not see spiritually (the light of Christ). Blindfold the youth, and talk about how some don’t see physically, but they can see spiritually (with their hearts through the Spirit).
