Baptism FHE


Shaun and I have been trying our best to do FHE, but it doesn't always work out. We came up with an idea to make an agenda and put the lesson on there and just save the whole document under each lesson title. For instance, I'll save this one on my computer as Baptism. I'm sure that we will do more than one lesson with the kids on baptism. We feel like this way we can have the same type of format but change it up from time to time. Or if we forgotten what we've done then at least we have a record of the lesson. I thought it might be helpful to post about it in case someone out there wanted some help. Feel free to change what you want. P.S. This is more of a lesson guideline. I've never been very good at writing out everything. I do better with just an outline.

 SHARE this quote -

"The attributes by which we shall be judged one day are all spiritual. These include love, virtue, integrity, compassion, and service to others. Your spirit, coupled with and housed in your body, is able to develop and manifest these attributes in ways that are vital to your eternal progression. Spiritual progress is attained through the steps of faith, repentance, baptism, the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end, including the endowment and sealing ordinances of the holy temple."

 —Elder Russell M. Nelson, "Thanks Be to God", General Conference, Apr. 2012
