My procrastination has lasted long enough


Its time I just do it. I've been procrastinating this for a long time, but it's time. I started writing this activity guide 10 years ago. I have big plans for it to be published and sit on the shelves of Deseret Book but sometimes seeing the big picture can keep us from moving forward. So...I'm just going to put it out there, unedited, with the supplies or printables. Not at all how I imagined but I think by doing this it will be done. So here goes...

After reading each and every chapter of the Book of Mormon I came up with ways to teach, what I felt, was the purpose or the truths of that chapter to children. When I started this my oldest daughter was 3 years old and most of the activities were geared towards very young children. Now that oldest daughter is 13 and I teach differently. Maybe you'll read these posts and they will change and adapt with your family as mine has.

If I started this activity guide again right now I could probably come up with completely different truths and how to teach them, and that's exactly why I love this book, God is always teaching us from it. Every time I read it I get something different out of it. Maybe different is too strong of a word, the truths are always the same but I feel like what I'm supposed to learn about that truth maybe changes a bit because I need to hear something a else each time.
