Prepare Yourself Spiritually

The members of your quorum or class may have studied 1 Nephi 1–7 during the week. They may have noticed the interactions between family members﻿—the way Lehi treated his wife, Sariah; the way Nephi and his brothers treated each other; or the way various family members responded to the counsel of the Lord given through Lehi. As you prepare to teach, think about why your family is important to you. What experiences can you share to help quorum or class members understand your family’s importance to you? How will you encourage them to share their experiences?

Also think about the messages in the world that contradict what the prophets have said about the importance of the family. To prepare to help your quorum or class members deepen their desire to strengthen their families, consider pondering “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” (ChurchofJesusChrist.org) and Elder D. Todd Christofferson’s message “Why Marriage, Why Family” ( Ensign or Liahona, May 2015, 50–53).
