FHE Game Idea: Prophet Puzzles

I feel like I'm at least 3 weeks behind with my posts, but onward ever onward!  Right?!  :)  Getting discouraged will only stop me from getting it done.  So I'm excited to finally be getting back to some writing and sharing.  I learned SO MUCH that I am eager to post here from Women's Conference at BYU.  After being in the same room and hearing Elder Andersen speak last week I am happy to honestly say that I know we have living prophets today.  That is one of the things that sets us apart from other religions.  Here is how my husband explained latter-day revelation to our kids at FHE last week...

Picture (the baby Jesus!  sorry, I couldn't resist) a wall or use a book to be the wall.  Heavenly Father is on one side of the wall and we are all on the other.  Prophets stand on the wall in between.  Even though Heavenly Father can send us personal messages, when he has something to tell everyone he tells the prophets on the wall.  Then they can tell it to all the world.  (And not be hit by arrows if they are being shot at, Michael interjected. :) )

We looked at the Conference Ensign to see all the people we sustain as revelators in the church.  I love that even women are chosen and inspired to give us messages from the Lord at General Conference.  I think that testifies to the true way Heavenly Father sees us and not the way the world would have us value ourselves.

Then we chose 2 apostles to learn about.  Chad read from some of the biography on the back of the picture (all while we were eating dinner LOL- you do what you have to do to!)

Then we turned them into puzzles and had fun getting the pictures put back together.  This is a great way to introduce and remind your children of who are leaders are.

There are great people in the world today, serving, teaching and testifying of the comfort and safety in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  They are parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, primary leaders, bishops and prophets.  The Gospel is true!  I love you and hope you enjoy this activity!  Love, Eva
