Learning and Living the Gospel #2 First Vision

A depiction by Gary L. Kapp of Joseph Smith sitting on the ground in the Sacred Grove, looking up to see Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father instructing him.

This week at Girl's Activity Days we made a flannel board story for Family Home Evening.  When Joseph Smith didn't know which church to go to, he said a  prayer in a grove of trees.  Jesus and Heavenly Father appeared.  He wasn't supposed to go to any of the churches.  He would be taught the gospel and restore the church on Earth again.

Heavenly Father answers our prayers.  I know that is true because he answers my prayers every day.  For example, today.  I said a prayer that we would do well on our battle of the books.  And we only lost by 2 books.  He helped me be calm and helped me remember the things that I had studied and read.
