“‘Book of Mormon Stories’ Coloring Page,” Friend, Nov. 1988, 18
Once two thousand sons of God
Were called to fight the foe.
Forth they marched in rank on rank,
To battle they did go.
They believed that Jesus Christ
Their guardian He would be.
They had learned they should live righteously.

Pat Graham, “Sharing Time: The Spirit of God,” Friend, Jan 1986, 46
Help us by the power of thy Spirit, that we may mingle our voices … with acclamations of praise, singing Hosanna to God and the Lamb! (D&C 109:79).
When a temple is completed, it is dedicated as a house of the Lord. A special prayer is offered, and those in attendance give the Hosanna Shout and sing “The Spirit of God” (Hymns, no. 2). A temple is a very sacred place, and when people are worthy, they often feel the Spirit of God when they go into His house.
When you live the teachings of the gospel, you can have a feeling inside that lets you know that what you are doing or thinking is right. Through prayer, you can receive answers to your problems. When you say that you know the true Church has been restored, others who hear you can have a feeling inside that helps them to know that what you have said is true. As you dedicate yourselves to doing good, the Spirit of God will guide and instruct you.
Pictured are the temples that were dedicated by September 1985. The date of dedication follows the name of each temple. Cut out the pictures and arrange them in order of dedication. Think of ways that you can prepare yourself to help with missionary and temple work.
1. Relate personal experiences about visiting temple open house or dedication.
2. Attach each temple picture to toothpick and insert in gumdrop. Place each temple where it is located on large world map.
3. Sing “The Spirit of God” (Hymns, no. 2), and “I Love to See the Temple” (Supplement to More Songs for Children, page 4).

The Salt Lake Temple
Great throngs of people young and old
Arrive by night and day,
To do the work for kindred dead
In God’s appointed way.

The Temple in Hawaii
Not only here at home, but on
The island’s distant shore
The work in temples is performed
As in days of yore.

Pat Graham and Janice Gardiner Wright, “Sharing Time: Remember Mother,” Friend, May 1983, 43
Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. (Col. 3:20.)
The poem and pictures on this page will help you remember some of the things your mother does for you. You can make a card and recite this Mother’s Day poem (showing different hats) before dinner or during a family home evening.
My mother’s job is sometimes hard, and I have heard her say,
“The hours are long, and if I could, I’d like to change the pay.”
Her profession has variety, and I will tell you now
About the many hats she wears—and why and when and how.
1. My mommy’s a nurse who fixes and patches
All of my hurts and my sores and my scratches.
2. My mother’s a chef who fixes each dinner
Fit for a king—a blue-ribbon winner!
3. My mom’s a chauffeur who drives pretty slow
But gets me to places where I need to go.
4. My mom’s a detective, and no one is greater
At getting the truth from me sooner or later.
5. My mommy’s a gardener and works really hard,
Planting and weeding and grooming our yard.
6. My mother’s a maid—at least that’s what she said—
‘Cause she cleans up the house and makes every bed.
7. My mother’s an angel—a queen in disguise—
Who teaches the gospel with tears in her eyes.
Today take these hats off, and please wear no other.
Let me do your work, to show I LOVE YOU, MOTHER!
Fold 8 1/2″ x 11″ (22 cm. x 28 cm.) piece of colored paper in half the long way. Open paper and fold up to make 2 1/2″ (6 cm.) pocket inside (see illustration). Glue or tape ends together. Color and cut out all pieces, including verse. On inside of card, glue mother cutout on right side and verse on left. Cut slot in mother’s hair. Place hats in pocket. Print HATS OFF TO MOTHER on front of card, then sign your name inside. When you present card to your mother, put correct hat in place as you read appropriate part of verse.
Please note these are in three separate folders
1. Make copies for each child to color and cut out. Sing Mother’s Day songs while making cards. Older children could list additional things that their mothers do that they appreciate.
2. Prepare program by enlarging cutouts. Mount mother on large poster board, then place on easel. Assign children to memorize verses and put appropriate hat in place before they say their part, or children could wear real hats.
3. Discuss other mothers (grandmothers, great-grandmothers) and responsibilities they might have had in their day or what the children remember about them.
