The Gospel Will Be Preached in All the World
This gospel shall be preached unto every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people (D&C 133:37).
You can use this lesson and activity to learn more about this month’s Primary theme.
Have you ever realized that very few people in the world have the blessings you have because you belong to Jesus Christ’s true Church? Many people don’t know they are Heavenly Father’s children and that they can pray to Him and He will answer. They don’t know about the blessings they can have because of the gospel. Heavenly Father wants us to share the gospel with everyone.
Because there are so many people who need to hear the gospel, missionaries are called to serve in different parts of the world. The missionaries teach people what they need to know and do to return to live with Heavenly Father and Jesus.
President Thomas S. Monson said you can prepare to be a missionary now, even when you are young. You can invite your friends to church, activities, or family home evening. The best ways you can be a missionary now are by showing love and being a good example for your friends.
Activity
Mount page 41 on heavier paper and cut out the 16 cards. Place the cards facedown on a flat surface. Take turns turning two cards over at a time, trying to find the word card and picture card that match. As you play, think of things you can do to be a missionary now.
