Presidency's Message

Dear Franklin Stake Primary Presidencies,

Some thoughts from Sister Beck's conference talk are pertinent to us as mothers, wives, sisters, daughters and as Primary leaders:

Personal Revelation

"A good woman knows that she does not have enough time, energy, or opportunity to take care of all of the people or do all of the worthy things her heart yearns to do."

"... with personal revelation, she can prioritize correctly and navigate this life confidently."

"The ability to qualify for, receive, and act on personal revelation is the single most important skill that can be acquired in this life."

1- Keeping the commandments, repenting, and renewing covenants made at baptism lead to the blessing of always having the Lord’s Spirit with us.

2- Making and keeping temple covenants also adds spiritual strength and power to a woman’s life.

3-Many answers to difficult questions are found by reading the scriptures because the scriptures are an aid to revelation. Insight found in scripture accumulates over time, so it is important to spend some time in the scriptures every day.

4-Daily prayer is also essential to having the Lord’s Spirit with us. Those who earnestly seek help through prayer and scripture study often have a paper and pencil nearby to write questions and record impressions and ideas.

Scripture Treasure Hunt

The basic idea of this activity is a scripture chase/treasure hunt. It helps kids get into the scriptures, so they need to bring their own set.

Divide the kids into groups and with at least one adult leader. Some of these clues are difficult, so you may want to give the adults a cheat sheet. If you have four groups, make four copies of the clues - each set a different color so that each group of kids only pick the clue that is their designated color.

Below are some scriptural references and the place that it would lead you to. For example: the first clue you could hand to one of the groups would be D&C 119:4 and that would lead them to the tithing slip holder where you would have placed the second clue. I would put something on the slip of paper other than just the next clue. You could place another scripture for them to look up, words of encouragement, or a corny rhyme that would make them laugh.

So, here are a few scriptures and where those scripture clues would lead you to. You can arrange them any way you want, each group needs to be in a different order. It does take some effort, but it is fun for the kids.

The final clue needs to take them to the primary room (to a footstool, picture of the prophet or picture of Christ) where you will have a treasure chest filled with prizes for them, but on the outside of the chest, tape the following references, one for each team: Helaman 5: 18, D&C 19:38, D&C 38:30 and D&C 6:3,7.

When all teams arrive they can read them aloud and then you can talk about what a true treasure is. Good Luck!
