Joseph Smith: A Man of God

Today we began as we usually do- playing, then a workout, the pledge of allegiance followed by the class rules and affirmations.

We then reviewed a few of our heroes we talked about last semester before introducing this week’s hero: Joseph Smith, Jr.

We read a book about him and then watched clips from Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration.  The clips included the first vision, persecution after which he preached a sermon the next day as well as him winning a stick pull contest.

We focused on his courage- during his surgery as a young boy, in the face of persecution and martyrdom and his physical and moral strength.  

We then had a stick pull contest upstairs and the boys loved it!  

We sent this worksheet home with them to review things they learned about Joseph Smith with their families.
