Devotionals for Come Follow Me 10/12
Remember that these are guidelines for you to use in your daily Come, Follow Me 10/12 devotionals! Please don’t feel as though you have to use every single question, journal entry, or activity. Just make sure you look at the activity in advance so you can gather any materials they may require.

- Start by singing the song together and saying a prayer

Monday Devotional
Song
An Angel Came to Joseph Smith (Children’s #86a)
Scripture
Discussion
- These verses are talking about the last days, which is now!
- Remember how we learned about the Savior saying He had other sheep, and those were the Nephites? The Nephites and the people in Jerusalem were all descendants of Israel.
- In the last days, the Lord said He would gather all of Israel together. If you aren’t one of Israel’s descendants, then you get adopted into his family when you are baptized and make covenants with the Lord.
- These verses tell us that the gathering of Israel will begin when the Nephites’ writings are given throughout the world. That’s the Book of Mormon!
- Those of us who have the Book of Mormon have the responsibility to help gather Israel.
