What examples of integrity has your family seen? (See also For the Strength of Youth, 19.)

Lesson:

Doctrine and Covenants 124:28–29, 40–41, 55.

What do we learn from these verses about why the Lord commands us to build temples?

Your family might like to draw a picture of a temple or build one out of blocks or other materials. As you do, you could discuss why you are thankful we have temples today and why we need to worship in them regularly.

Doctrine and Covenants 124:2–11.

If the Lord told your family “to make a solemn proclamation of my gospel” to “the kings of the world” (verses 2–3), what would your proclamation say? Consider creating one together, and invite family members to suggest gospel truths they want to include.

Doctrine and Covenants 124:91–92.

Would your family benefit from a discussion about patriarchal blessings? Family members who have received their patriarchal blessing could share what it was like to receive one and how it has blessed them. You could also review “Patriarchal Blessings” (Gospel Topics, topics.ChurchofJesusChrist.org).
