1 Deseret Book Family Home Evening Materials Theme: Self Reliance Packet # tips for successful Family Home Evenings 1. Pray. Pray about the needs of your family as you consider topics for home evenings, and pray as you prepare. 2. Prioritize. Make Family Home Evening a priority; learn to say no to other activities. 3. Involvement. Involve everyone in the family; help little children take part. 4. Commitment. Be committed and be consistent. Set a designated time and stick to it. Holding Family Home Evening on a weekly basis takes dedication and planning on the part of all family members. 5. Relax and enjoy it. The most important thing your children will remember is the spirit they feel in your family home evenings and activities. Be sure the atmosphere is one of love, understanding, and enjoyment.

2 Self Reliance Conference Talk: For more information on this topic read The Sanctifying Work of Welfare, by H. David Burton, Ensign, May 2011, 81. Thought: Each generation is required to learn anew the foundational principles of selfreliance: avoid debt, implement principles of thrift, prepare for times of distress, listen to and follow the words of the living oracles, develop the discipline to distinguish between needs and wants and then live accordingly. (H. David Burton, The Sanctifying Work of Welfare, Ensign, May 2011, 81.) Song: When We re Helping, Children s Songbook, p Scripture: For the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare; yea, I prepared all things, and have given unto the children of men to be agents unto themselves. (Doctrine and Covenants 104:17) Object Lesson: Display a 72-hour kit, or other food storage item. Explain that when a natural disaster occurs, people often begin to think about preparations they wish they had made. Have your family suggest things they think are important to have prior to a natural disaster. Invite a family member to read Exodus 11:1 3. Ask: What was Israel asked to do? Why were they successful in their requests of their Egyptian neighbors? Ask your family to silently read Exodus 11:5 10, looking for the plague about to come upon the Egyptians. Ask your family why they think Pharaoh would not let the children of Israel go, even after all the previous plagues sent upon Egypt (see footnote 10a). Read D&C 43:23 27 aloud. Testify that the Lord continues to speak to us by the voice of disasters and plagues, and that it is important for us to heed His warnings. Make a plan to be prepared both physically and spiritually and to follow the warnings of our modern prophet. (Dennis H. Leavitt and Richard O. Christensen, Scripture Study for Latter-day Saint Families: The Old Testament, [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 2004], p. 37.) Story: Joseph Smith grew to manhood among God s noblemen, men of faith, self

3 reliance, initiative and determination. They worked twelve hours a day with hand tools to build their homes and supply food and clothing for their families. Travel for pleasure was unknown. The first railroad had not yet competed with the horse-drawn vehicle. Roads were poor and usually maintained by a tax or a toll. A journey of one hundred miles was an unusual event. Wheat that sold at seventyfive cents a bushel in Western New York, sold for two dollars and fifty cents a bushel at Albany on the Hudson River, because of the cost of transportation on the Erie Canal. Books were few. In addition to the Bible, one might find in the home the almanac, and a few books of travel. Children went to school for about three months a year, until they could read, write and cipher. People lived near to nature and believed in the love and mercies of God. They were kind, helpful and considerate to all. To them, Jesus was the Christ, and the Bible was the word of God to all men. It contained His commandments. These they accepted and sought to obey. (Francis W. Kirkham, New Witness for Christ in America, vol. 1, [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1942].) Activity: 1. Divide the family into two or three teams. 2. Give each team a scavenger list (below) and instruct the teams to search in the house for the items on the list and collect them in a bag. There is a ten-minute limit. If they fail to return within the ten minutes, they must subtract one item for every minute they re late. 3. On the word go, each team begins to collect as many things on the list as they can, and returns to the room where family night is being held. 4. At the end of the ten minutes, each team receives one point for every item they found that was on their list. They also receive a bonus point for each item they found that has an asterisk (*) by it on the list. Remember to subtract one point for each late minute. After all the items have been counted, discuss the many blessing you have and the concept of Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. Scavenger List 1 Band-Aid Pencil with an eraser Blank piece of lined paper Half-teaspoon measuring spoon Piece of tinfoil *Sock with a hole in it Car keys *Yellow toothbrush Scotch tape *Piece of Christmas wrapping paper *Fifty-cent piece Bottle of shampoo *Slipper Hairbrush Broom Scavenger List 2 Lightbulb

4 White pillowcase Can of soup Toothpaste Sewing needle D battery Piece of unlined paper Nail Straight pin White shirt *Bookmark *Red pencil Ten-foot length of string *Vacuum cleaner bag *Fingernail file Scavenger List 3 Black sock *Belt buckle *Fingernail clipper Hammer Tape measure *Sunglasses Shoe polish Paper clip Cassette tape *Stapler Bar of soap Car keys Five-dollar bill Tube of lipstick *Safety pin (Max H. Molgard and Allan K. Burgess, The Best of Fun for Family Night, [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 2003], p. 56.)
