For tonight's Family Home Evening the topic in which I have chosen is:
How We can Apply The Teachings From General Conference in Our Lives
Free Printables:
Preparation: I hope and pray that you can use these ideas as a guideline and adjust them to the needs of your own specific family. Our prophet President Monson says, "We cannot afford to neglect this heaven-inspired program. It can bring spiritual growth to each member of the family, helping him or her to withstand the temptations which are everywhere. The lessons learned in the home are those that last the longest." On Lds.org there are resources available in helping to make your Family Home Evenings successful, here is a link to that site on Family Home Evenings.

Scripture: Read: 1 Nephi 3:7
Article of Faith: #10: "We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory."
Family Home Evening Instruction:
Begin Family Home Evening by showing your family the following items: A compass, some hiking shoes, a map, some water, (and any other items you might need for a journey). Ask your family what you might need these items for?
Ask your family why it might be important to have a map if you were going to go on a journey or on a hike? Explain that a map gives us direction, to keep us on the right path or road to arrive at the correct destination safely.
Explain that Heavenly Father has sent us on a journey here on earth called mortality. Because he loves us he give us direction through prophets. We can read direction from ancient prophets in the scriptures. We can also listen to current living prophets during General Conference.
We need to not only listen to the direction but also act upon the direction.
Ask your family members what were some directions from the prophet, apostles and church leaders during General Conference that stuck out to them, or what was some personal revelation they received. Discuss these as a family and have each member come up with how they are going to act upon the direction given.
Invite family members to bear their testimonies about the importance of putting the words of the prophets into practice in our lives.
Close with a Family Prayer.
