THIS IS THE LAST WEEK YOU CAN ORDER GENERAL CONFERENCE JOURNALS!
This is our favorite notebook to use as we listen to conference. It has a place for notes, for promptings, and for application. We love the weekly prep for before conference weekend and also the section at the end that helps you make the most recent General Conference talks part of your life moving forward. We accidentally sold out Rio’s supply in our first video about this, but she is doing a reprint…so if you are interested, order right away ;)
We are so excited about these journals. Here is the link!!
The best way to learn from parables is to visualize them. Draw what you are learning here.
Teaching Tips for Kids
Consider reading one parable every night this week. Have your little ones draw what you are describing in each polaroid square as you read. Ask them what lesson they learned after they are done with their drawings each night.
Teaching Tips for teens
Take some time to teach your kids that parables are filled with symbols and to understand them fully will require a process of discovery. As you read through each one, try to uncover the symbolism there. Maybe they will draw the symbols in each square and then write what each object represents. The youth of today are particularly good at Kingdom work. Ask which parable teaches a lesson they would like to try out with their friends this week.
Teaching tips for individuals and couples
Use the squares this week to either draw or take notes as you study each parable. Rather than looking at each parable separately, try looking for what they all teach together. What will the kingdom of heaven look like? Find a hint from each parable. Once you are done, gather all of the learning together. How can you help build the kingdom now?

Come Follow Me 2023 Study Tools
Maybe you know this about us by now, but we are both visual, hands on learners. Because of that, we are always trying to discover study tools that will help bring the scriptures to life in your home. We will be using several different study tools this year, here is what we love most about each of them:
Videos: For the New Testament we will be recording all new hour long vides, but this year they will be broken into ten minute segments in case you want to watch them for ten minutes every weekday, or you can watch them all at once. These videos are totally free and can be found on YouTube or on our APP.
Journal: The journals for the next four years have been totally redesigned with a theme in mind. You will find questions to ponder daily that can be used for teaching or family discussions. There are workbook pages based off of our most favorite part of each lesson that week. You can also use these workbook pages for lessons or discussion. There will also be a space for recording one name of Jesus Christ each week.
Devotional Book: Perfect for a 5-10 minute lesson, these books can be used as a devotional every day. This book is designed for personal study or family study. We love to use ours around the dinner or breakfast table.
Word a Week Posters: Perfect for a three minute study, these posters include one word and one verse a week for pondering. Hang them somewhere in your home where they will be a daily reminder of Come, Follow Me. This year we will be studying one name of Jesus Christ found in that week’s lesson. By the end of the year we will have come up with 52 names.
Tip Ins: These are small papers that can be glued right in your scriptures with tips and truths that will help to improve your study.
Stickers: Use these colorful stickers in the margins of your Scriptures or in your Don’t Miss This Daily study journal.
Hopefully these tools will make your scripture study something you look forward to!
