A friend shared that in her family, each person shares one thing that was “sweet” about the day, and one thing that was “sour” about the day. I can only image how many of these conversations the men in Liberty Jail, their families struggling without them, and the Saints striving to make sense of their lives, had to have.

There are so many things in next week’s sections that are important to me. I have crafted the study pages and the questions there with my heart. Elizabeth, Gary, and Heidi have done the same with the activities and art.

We all have resonated with the idea of a prison temple and sincerely hope this next week of study is a holy week for you personally, and your family.

Thus, we invite you to . . .

- place the art work in a spot that will encourage all in your home to pause and reflect

- invite those in your home to share their “sweet” and “sour” moments of the day (or week)

- record your personal thoughts and feelings about your prison temple moments

Love, all of us at RHH

We lost some important and dearly loved family mem

We lost some important and dearly loved family members this past week. As you know, in times like these we naturally think more about the spirit world and my daughter was asking questions she had never thought to ask before.

So I grabbed a poster (I buy them in bulk) and I wrote the question, “what do I know about the spirit world” at the top. Then she started to draw.

She started by drawing the plan of salvation. Then we read quotes and looked up scriptures and each time she learned something she drew it on the poster.

She spent at least an hour on this and now she will use it tonight to teach the whole family about the spirit world.

Not pictured here is a temple she drew right in the middle because it allows our families to be sealed together.

I wanted to share this poster teaching method in case it is something you think might work for your children or grandchildren. It is a great way to work through doctrines, visualize them, and take time pondering about them.

She asked a LOT of questions as she was drawing. And the answers helped her feel peace and hope. Joy replaced sadness. And the future is now brighter. 💛

Did you know that "Arise and Shine Forth" have bee

Did you know that "Arise and Shine Forth" have been the 2012 and 2006 youth themes?

Watch how the context of this scripture adds a much deeper meaning.

Taken on its own, without understanding what was happening to the saints, this scripture is an invitation to be a shining example - to stand out.

But, taken within context, we know that the saints had just endured the difficult days in Kirtland and were now being told to leave their home and gather in Far West - with saints who had also been persecuted.

The command from the Lord was not to lay low and let the storm pass. It was to "arise and shine forth." And the trials were not over - much more was still coming.

But through the storm they were to "Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations."

They cannot hide. They cannot blend in. They are to help gather Israel (see vs 6). Even when it is hard. Even when the future is uncertain.

And look what they have built. We are standing on their shoulders.

How can we be like these saints? Who needs to stand upon our shoulders? How can we make sure our shoulders are firm and sure?

The original art made for these sections this week

The original art made for these sections this week is called "The Tithing of My People" and goes with D&C 119:3-4.

Here are the things Heidi added to the art to teach us about tithing:

The art depicts a mother and daughter picking from an apple orchard. 10 baskets of apples full; one of them being brought to the wagon, dedicated for tithing.

Notice that 9/10 of the field is not yet plowed. They are dedicating the best of the fields crops, not what's left over.

The broken wheel on the wagon that the man is fixing is to represent that is not always convenient or easy to pay tithing. Many times it takes sacrifice.

You will notice the light shining down on them depicting the promise in Malachi 3:10, representing the windows of heaven pouring down blessings upon them.

Heidi shares in the Art Study how she has a unique connection to tithing. I invite you to read it in your studies this week.

She ends by saying "Tithing is a way that we can show our devotion to the cause of Zion... a way to show our dedication to the Lord."
