YOUTH LESSON ACTIVITY. KINDLY FORGIVE Ephesians 4:32 rebus poster & peace rose card. Youth can learn this scripture to remind them that their presence personally and on social media is trusted by all and especially the Lord, to be kind and forgiving. It is easier than trying to take back unkind words/actions. Also, God forgives; why can’t we? READ MORE

POST-AND-PRESENT. FRIEND-OR-FOE? Slap/flip game. Youth learn the difference between being a FRIEND and a FOE. A FRIEND is patient, cheerful, nice, and helpful. A FOE is like an enemy: impatient, not kind, grouchy, and uncaring. READ MORE

YOUTH LESSON ACTIVITY. LEHI’S VISION – TREE OF LIFE 3-D vision box. Youth can share this vision box with their friends or family (1 Nephi 8, 11, and 15:21-36). Looking through the window they can share how the Prophet Lehi sees a vision and partakes of a special fruit and desires his family to partake. He sees a rod of iron and a narrow path that leads them through a mist of darkness where people are mocking the righteous. Nephi interprets the vision where God divides the wicked from the righteous.

To help those you teach share impressions from their study of Jonah this week, you could display a picture of Jonah (see this week’s outline in Come, Follow Me—For Individuals and Families). Invite them to discuss what they learned about sharing the gospel from Jonah’s experiences. You might invite them to specifically review Jonah 1 and 3 and ask: What do we learn about sharing the gospel with those who may not seem ready to change? What do we learn about God’s willingness to forgive those who repent? To inspire members of your class or quorum to share the gospel, use one or more of the following activities or create one of your own.

• To get ideas about how to share the Savior’s gospel with others, your class or quorum could review the following accounts in the scriptures: John 4:3–26; Acts 16:25–33; Alma 19:14–18, 28–31. You could then discuss together questions like these: How were people in these accounts prepared to hear the gospel message? What do you notice about how the message was shared? Why do you think Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ want us to share the gospel? You could then discuss as a class or quorum what these accounts teach us about how we can share the gospel today.
• Reading inspiring examples of others sharing the gospel can encourage the youth you teach to do the same. Elder D. Todd Christofferson shared some examples in his message “Sharing the Message of the Restoration and the Resurrection.” In this message, Elder Christofferson taught that three things are needed to make our invitations to receive the gospel compelling: our love, our example, and our use of the Book of Mormon. Discuss the examples of sharing the gospel in this message, and invite those you teach to share other examples, including their personal experiences. How do these experiences demonstrate the three things taught by Elder Christofferson?
• How can you help those you teach understand that sharing the gospel can be natural and doesn’t have to be intimidating? You might show the videos under “Supporting Resources” and ask the youth to think about how they could share the gospel with someone they know. What can we do to invite them to come and see? What opportunities do they have to come and help? How can we help them feel a desire to come and stay? How can we make sharing the gospel a part of our everyday lives?
