During the first few minutes of every class, help the youth make connections between what they are learning in various settings (such as personal study, seminary, other Church classes, or experiences with their friends). How can you help them see the relevance of the gospel in daily living? The ideas below will help you remember:

Ask the youth to share experiences they have had this past week that have strengthened their testimonies of the gospel.
​Share an experience when you have recognized evidence that God is guiding your life, protecting you, or blessing you. Bear your testimony of Heavenly Father.​ 18-month mission   Castle Valley   Testify 1 2 3

ACTIVITY One

Fill a “care package” with objects that represent the blessings Heavenly Father has given us, as identified by Brother M. Joseph Brough in his talk “His Daily Guiding Hand.” Divide the objects among the youth.
​

ACTIVITY Two

Think of an everyday item that the youth in your class may take for granted, such as shoes. Invite them to discuss how life would be different without the item. 

ACTIVITY Three

 “How Great Thou Art” Ask them to think about the things in this hymn that indicate the greatness of God. What are some other things the youth could add to this list that testify to them of God’s power and love?
