Temples and Their Functions
(Wedding Ring)
Temples are sacred buildings in which instruction is given and ceremonies and ordinances pertaining to exaltation in the Kingdom of God are performed. They are not public houses of worship, although nonmembers are permitted to visit the temples before they are dedicated to the Lord. Temple worthy members who attend regular temple “sessions” receive scriptural exaltation. Marriages are among the sacred ceremonies performed in the temples. In the usual civil or church ceremony, marriages are performed for time only, with the contract ending with the death of either party. Not so with Latter-Day Saint wedding ceremonies. In the temple a bride and groom, dressed in white to represent purity, kneel at an altar and by the authority of the Holy Priesthood are married for all eternity as well as for time. Thus, if they live worthily throughout their lives, the family unit will continue into the eternities.

Esau and Jacob
(Goatskin Fur)
After many years of childlessness Rebekah gave birth to twin boys. The elder son was born with thick red hair all over his body and they named him Esau. The younger, born holding his twin’s heel, they named Jacob. Esau, whom Isaac loved best, grew up a strong and adventurous hunter, while Jacob, his mother’s favorite, preferred staying home. One day Jacob was cooking some lentil stew when his brother came in faint from starvation. Esau asked for some stew and Jacob told him that he might have some if Esau would give his birthright to Jacob. Esau gave his word that he would give up his birthright for some stew. Isaac, old, blind and near death asked Esau to shoot a deer and prepare it to eat. “I want to taste it one last time so that I may bless you before I die,” Isaac said. Rebekah overheard these words and determined that Jacob should be the one to receive Isaac’s blessing. She told Jacob to get two young goats. She told him that she would cook the dish and that he would take it to his father. Jacob told her that Isaac would know that he wasn’t Esau. He would know because Esau had a lot of hair and Jacob didn’t. Jacob was afraid that Isaac would know he was deceiving him and would put a curse on him. Rebekah said, “Do as I say, and all will be well.” And Rebekah dressed Jacob in his brother’s clothes and covered his hands and shoulders with goatskin. She gave him some bread and a bowl of stew made from goat’s meat. Then she sent him to his father. Isaac was puzzled and asked who he was. He asked for Jacob to come near him so he could feel him. He knew the voice was Jacob’s voice, but the hands were the hands of Esau. He asked Jacob if he was really his eldest son. Jacob lied and said that he was. So Isaac ate the food that had been brought to him, thinking that it was Esau who was with him. He blessed Jacob and promised that he should have everything due to the firstborn. Scarcely had Jacob left his father’s tent when Esau arrived home from the hunt. He prepared the dish of venison and took it to Isaac. Isaac asked who he was. Esau replied that he was Esau, his eldest son. Isaac asked who it was that had just been with him, to whom he had given his blessing. When Esau heard his father’s words he got angry. He realized a trick had been played and he begged his father to bless him and give him his rights. Isaac said he would bless him, but told Esau he couldn’t be blessed with what was already promised to his brother. Isaac knew the blessing was given before God and that it couldn’t be altered. Esau was filled with hatred for Jacob. He knew that Isaac would soon be dead, so he planned to kill Jacob as soon as the period of mourning for his father’s death was over. Rebekah heard of his plot and was able to warn Jacob. Rebekah told Jacob to leave the city and that he could stay with her brother in Haran until Esau calmed down.

The Golden Rule
(Ruler)
“Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.”
This is one of the things that Jesus taught us while giving the Sermon on the Mount to his disciples. We all know it as the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” In other words, treat people the way that you would like to be treated, with kindness, love, giving, respect, etc.

Lehi’s Vision of the Tree Of Life
(Tree)
Lehi had a dream, or a vision, in which he saw a tree whose fruit looked very good. The fruit was exceedingly white, and when he tasted it he said it was the sweetest ever, and it filled him with joy. Lehi wanted his family to eat it too, so he looked and saw that they were lost and wondering where to go. Lehi called to them and they came and ate the fruit with him. Laman and Lemuel, however, did not want to eat the fruit with the rest of their family and this worried Lehi.
Lehi looked around and saw a great river, with a rod of iron next to it, and a straight and narrow path that led to the tree where Lehi and his family stood. Lehi noticed that there were many people trying to find their way to the tree, but a mist of darkness came and the people wandered off and got lost. There were other people who grabbed onto the iron rod and held on through the mist of darkness, and the rod of iron led them to the tree where they tasted the fruit. But when they looked around, they were embarrassed and went away and got lost. Lehi also saw a great, big building with all kinds of people inside who were pointing and laughing at the people eating the fruit. There were still other people, however, who held onto the iron rod until they reached the tree, tasted the fruit, and stayed there because they were happy.
After the dream, Lehi was afraid for Laman and Lemuel who did not eat the fruit and he told them to always keep the commandments. Later, Nephi helped us to understand the meaning of his father’s dream. The tree stands for the Love of God, and the fruit is the joy we feel because of Christ’s sacrifice for us. The river and mist of darkness represents wickedness and temptations of Satan. The people in the building were those who loved worldly things, and were ashamed of God and righteousness. The rod of iron stands for the word of God. If we hold to the iron rod, or in other words, listen and do what the scriptures and prophets say our whole lives, then we will have eternal life which is a gift from Christ to all those who keep the commandments. And this is the greatest joy of all.

Freezer Meal Hints
Lessons learned from our group:
- Each of us will prepare a main dish: Bring 10 "packages" of 6-servings each (to accomodate larger and smaller families)
- Suggested packaging: freezer ziploc bags or disposable foil pans
- Make sure each meal is labeled and dated and includes instructions on preparing the dish for eating
- Bring (or e-mail) the actual recipe you are making (so we can make them again ourselves later!)
- Since ours is a daytime group, kids are more than welcome to come :)
Other helpful hints:
- Avoid high sodium recipes, since the salt will lower the freezing point, so the food is not as safely frozen
- Don't put frozen dishes into a hot oven
- Cool food before freezing
- Cook meat thoroughly (not halfway) before freezing

Ammon
(Sword)
Ammon was one of the four sons of King Mosiah. The Lord commanded Ammon and his brothers to teach the Lamanites the Gospel. Ammon and his brothers separated and each brother went to a different city. Ammon went to the city of Ishmael. The Lamanites did not like the Nephites. They tied up Ammon and took him to their king. The king’s name was Lamoni. He asked Ammon why he had come to his city. Ammon said he wanted to live with the Lamanites. He wanted to be the king’s servant. King Lamoni liked Ammon. Ammon’s job was to tend the king’s sheep. One day while the sheep were drinking water, some wicked Lamanites came and scattered the sheep. They wanted to steal the sheep. The king’s servants were afraid the king would kill them because the sheep were gone. Ammon told them not to be afraid. He said they would find and protect the sheep. They found the sheep and gathered them to the water. The wicked Lamanites came again to steal the sheep. Ammon told the servants to surround the sheep so they couldn’t scatter them again. Ammon went to the wicked Lamanites. The Lamanites thought they could kill Ammon. Ammon had the power of God with him. He threw some stones with his sling and killed some of the wicked Lamanites. The Lamanites tried to kill Ammon with their clubs, but he cut off their arms. The wicked men were afraid and ran away. The king’s servants were surprised that Ammon was so strong. They took the arms to show the king. The king wanted to see Ammon but he was afraid. Ammon came to the king. King Lamoni didn’t know what to say to Ammon. The Holy Ghost helped Ammon know what the king was thinking. Ammon said he wasn’t God. He said he was a man. King Lamoni asked Ammon to teach him. Ammon taught Lamoni about God and Jesus Christ. He told Lamoni about things that were written on the gold plates and the brass plates. Lamoni believed Ammon.

Baptism
(Song- “When I Am Baptized”; Jesus’ Baptism Picture)
In the scriptures it tells about many people being baptized. John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ. Everyone is supposed to be baptized as Jesus has commanded. We are supposed to be baptized so we can be clean of any sins we have made. When we are baptized we also become members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Jesus has told us in the scriptures that we must also be baptized so we can enter in the Celestial Kingdom. The Celestial Kingdom is where we need to go to live with our Heavenly Father again. When a boy or girl turns eight years old, and if they are worthy, they can be baptized. This is the age Heavenly Father feels a boy or girl can be accountable and capable of understanding baptism. It is a special day when a boy or girl gets baptized. They dress in white and must be baptized with water covering their body. A man holding the priesthood can baptize them. Many people are baptized in fonts. Other people don’t have fonts or churches where they live and are baptized in rivers or lakes. It is important to be baptized and to remember how we felt on our baptismal day.
D&C 20:71, 68:25-28
2 Nephi 31:4-11
When I Am Baptized
I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain
And ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again.
I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.
I know when I am baptized my wrongs are washed away,
And I can be forgiven and improve myself each day.
I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.

Alma The Younger, The Great Missionary
(Missionary Name Tag)
In the time of the Book of Mormon there was a prophet by the name of Alma and a king named Mosiah. They were very righteous men and did their best to help the people and teach them the gospel. King Mosiah had many sons; some of who didn’t believe in the church. Alma also had a son, called Alma the younger, who did not believe in the church. They were very wicked men and were able to lead many away from the church.
As they were going about rebelling against God, an angel appeared before them and spoke with a voice of thunder shaking the earth on which they stood. Alma the younger and the sons of Mosiah were so astonished they fell to the ground. The angel said unto them, “Alma, arise and stand forth, for why persecutest thou the church of God? For the Lord hath said: This is my church, and I will establish it; and nothing shall overthrow it, save it is the transgression of my people.” After the angel left, Alma became so weak that he could not move his hands, and could not open his mouth. The sons of Mosiah took Alma the younger to his father, Alma the prophet, who fasted and prayed for him. After two days had passed, Alma received strength and stood up and began to speak of what happened to them. He told his father he had repented of his sins and had been forgiven by Heavenly Father. From that time forward, Alma the younger and the sons of Mosiah became great missionaries for the church and baptized many people into the gospel.

Feeding the Thousands
(Fish)
One day Jesus was teaching a crowd so large it stretched out for miles. The people sat on the sand and grass. They listened and watched as Jesus healed the sick and prayed for them. In some ways it felt like a big picnic. However, there was one thing missing…food. As the afternoon wore on, more and more people complained about how hungry they were. Finally in the evening the disciples came to Jesus. They said he should send the people home so they could get something to eat. Jesus looked at the thousands of people around him. The people were so excited about all they had learned that day, so he did not want to end the teaching quite yet.
Then his disciples Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, came to Jesus and told him there was a little boy who had five loaves of bread and two fishes. Jesus told the people to sit in small groups. Jesus thanked God for giving them something to eat. He blessed the food and broke the bread. Then he passed it to the disciples so they could give it to the people. That’s when something very special happened! Jesus gave more bread and more and more to the disciples. When their baskets were empty they came back for more. Jesus put even more bread and fish in the baskets. Until finally, all the thousands and thousands of people had eaten enough.
The disciples collected the leftovers from the meal. When they were finished, there were 12 baskets still filled with bread and fish. It was a miracle!!

Samson
(Scissors)
Israel was once under the rule of the Philistines. At that time there lived a couple with a special son named Samson. Samson’s parents had never cut Samson’s hair as a sign that he belonged to God. They knew God had a special plan for Samson to begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. As long as Samson obeyed God he was very strong. One day Samson was walking through a field when he heard a strange sound. “What is that?” he wondered. Then suddenly, from out of nowhere, a great big lion came running at him. Samson had no weapons at all, but the Spirit of the Lord came upon him. He became stronger than the strongest man. When the lion was on him, Samson threw him off and killed him. Many years later, Samson fell in love with a woman named Delilah. She was a bad woman. She made a deal with the Philistines that she would trick Samson and hand him over to his enemies. If she did this, they would give her a lot of silver pieces. Over and over again she asked Samson, “Why are you so strong? What is your secret?” Samson told her, “Tie me with seven cords.” So that night she tied him with seven cords. When Samson woke up he snapped them right off. Delilah kept asking and bugging Samson until finally he said, “The secret of my strength is the Lord. He makes me strong as long as my hair is uncut. Ever since I was a baby my parents knew God had a plan for me.” That night Delilah called the Philistines again. She made Samson sleep on her lap. She made sure he would not wake up as the Philistines crept in. A man cut his hair and when Samson woke up it was too late. Samson was too weak to fight the Philistines. They took Samson prisoner and paid Delilah her money. But God still helped Samson win. It happened when the Philistines were having a party in a big house. They took Samson with them to the party to laugh at him. There were over 3000 people there. Samson asked the person who led him to let him feel the pillars in the middle of the hall in the house. These pillars were what held the big house up. When Samson felt the pillars of stone, he called unto the Lord to give him back his strength that he might help set the Lord’s people free. The Lord heard Samson and when Samson pushed the pillars with all of his might, the house fell on top of all the enemies. God had saved his people again.
