Examples from this podcast:

Heavenly Father called Joseph Smith to help Him do His work. Let’s listen to what important things angel Moroni came to teach Joseph Smith. Can you pretend to be Joseph while you are listening to this story?

The next four years would be a time of preparation for Joseph. Part of that preparation would be the purifying of his heart in order to receive the precious items, the golden plates and the rim and thumin. Here’s what happened next to Joseph.

Joseph would bring forth the Book of Mormon;

we are invited to share its message.

Joseph would receive priesthood keys to turn the hearts of the children to their fathers;

we can now receive ordinances for our ancestors in temples.

Joseph was told of prophecies that would soon be fulfilled; we are called to help fulfill these prophecies.

As we take part in God’s work, we can expect to face opposition and even persecution, just as the Prophet did. But we can also have faith that the Lord will make us instruments in His hands, just as He did for Joseph.

This week we are learning about the first vision of Joseph Smith.

January 13–19: “I Saw a Pillar of Light”

Joseph Smith History 

Joseph Smith is the Prophet of the Restoration.

Joseph Smith was prepared to be a prophet of God.

We will also learn from Joseph Smiths first vision in the sacred grove, a pattern of prayer that we can follow to get answers ourselves.

WE can follow the pattern Joseph showed us during his life, a pattern of prayer!

Joseph said he was twelve when he started thinking about which church he should join. He had the first vision when he was 14. So this wasn’t a question he figured the answer to in a day, a week, or a month.

For our pattern of prayer, to be like Joseph, we should know that sometimes answers to our questions can take time.

Joseph tells us when he was trying to decide which church to join, he was so young that he could not come to any certain conclusion and needed wisdom from god since he did not know how to act.

For our pattern of prayer, to be like Joseph, we need to make sure we gather all the information we can and then go to God.

Joseph said he spent time in serious reflection. When we need help, do we spent time pondering solutions? If you want help on a test, you’ve got to study, - you can’t just pray for an A and not do your part and expect God to help.

Joseph said he attended all the different meetings as often as he could. He was doing his divine homework!

Joseph made a decision, he chose which church he thought was best, then he that decision to God to see if it was right. Often Heavenly Father expects us to make the best choice we can and then ask him to confirm if it is the right choice.

Joseph went somewhere where he could be unrushed and uninterrupted with God.

If you follow this pattern of prayer, and try to be like Joseph, we testify that you will be able to say the same thing to your mom that Joseph said to his right after he went home after having had the first vision…

I have learned for myself

Remember in the beginning Joseph didn’t know what to do? He was so confused. But in studying and praying like Joseph we testify you will be able to say all is well, i know for myself.

Some background music was written by Daniel Sacks and taken from the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints hymn book.

This week we are studying The Restoration of the Fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our prophet decided that to celebrate the restoration of the gospel and the first vision given to Joseph smith, instead of building a monument out of granite or stone, he would build one out of words.

The monument of words the first presidency created is titled “The Restoration of the Fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ: A Bicentennial Proclamation to the World.” It’s a monument not just to the First Vision but also to everything Jesus Christ has done—and is still doing—since then.

Children will learn these concepts:

“God loves His children in every nation of the world.”

The Restoration began with an answer to a question.

Jesus Christ has restored His Church.

“The heavens are open.”

“Heavenly messengers came to instruct Joseph Smith”

This week we learn about the destruction or end of the jaredites. We learn about how Ether could not be captured by them and how he hid in a cave. We learn about Shiz and Coriantumur and their final battle. Principles the children will learn this week are:

Faith in Jesus Christ can lead to miracles.

Jesus Christ can turn my weakness into strength.

Rejecting the Lord’s prophets puts me in spiritual danger.

Faith is believing in things I cannot see.

Jesus Christ can help me become spiritually strong.

The story about Parker and other audio comes from the Friend Magazine or the church’s youth album.

November 25–December 1: “By Faith All Things Are Fulfilled”

Ether 12–15

Ether’s prophecies to the Jaredites were “great and marvelous” (Ether 12:5). He “told them of all things, from the beginning of man” (Ether 13:2). He foresaw “the days of Christ” and the latter-day New Jerusalem (Ether 13:4). And he spoke of “hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God” (Ether 12:4). But the Jaredites rejected his words, for the same reason people often reject the prophecies of God’s servants today—“because they [see] them not” (Ether 12:5). It takes faith to believe in promises or warnings about things we can’t see, just as it took faith for Ether to prophesy of “great and marvelous things” to an unbelieving people. It took faith for Moroni to trust that the Lord could take his “weakness in writing” and turn it into strength (see Ether 12:23–27). It’s this kind of faith that makes us “sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God” (Ether 12:4). And it’s this kind of faith by which “all things are fulfilled” (Ether 12:3).

The Jaredites were destroyed. Remember what we read in Mosiah? - Hundreds of years after the Jaredites were destroyed, the Nephites discovered the ruins of their ancient civilization. Among these ruins was a mysterious record—plates of “pure gold” that were “filled with engravings,” and the Nephites “were desirous beyond measure” to read it. Today we have an abridgment of this record, and it’s called the book of Ether. What we are reading in the scriptures this week! When the Nephites read it, “they were filled with sorrow” to learn of the tragic fall of the Jaredites. “Nevertheless it gave them much knowledge, in the which they did rejoice” You, too, may find sad moments in this book. But you can also rejoice in this gift of knowledge. As Moroni wrote, “it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you … that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men”

So let’s remember:

The Lord will guide us through our mortal journey.

We are blessed when we follow God’s prophet.

We can trust Heavenly Father to comfort us when we are scared.

Remembering what the Lord has done brings gratitude and peace.

November 18–24: “That Evil May Be Done Away”

Ether 6–11

The Brother of Jared

“Rend That Veil of Unbelief”

Ether 1–5

This week we are reading about the Brother of Jared and how their language is not confounded. They are led through the wilderness in a cloud. They are chastised for not praying and repent. The Lord guides them and hears their prayers. They build barges that are tight like a dish. The brother of Jared asks the lord how to have light in the boat and the Lord asks what He should do. The brother of Jared makes 16 clear stones and asks the lord to touch them and make them glow. The Lord does this and the brother of Jared sees his finger and is surprised to learn the Lord has flesh and blood. What we learn this week: As I cry unto the Lord, He will have compassion on me. I can receive revelation for my life. Through His chastening, the Lord invites me to repent and come unto Him. The Lord will prepare me to cross my “great deep.” Heavenly Father hears and answers my prayers. I was created in the image of God. As they grow, your children will encounter many false messages about God, themselves, and their physical bodies. We remind them that their bodies are a gift from and in the similitude of God!

This week we learn about Mormons death and Moroni living along as the Nephites are hunted down. We learn of his faith in the word of the plates going forward, about Joseph Smith, about him seeing our time, and how he knows God is a God of miracles.
