Letter from Home
 

Objective: To illustrate that our Patriarchal Blessings are loving instructions sent from our Heavenly Father. 
 

Materials needed:  An addressed, stamped envelope.   
 

Have the everyone imagine themselves far away in a foreign land.  They have been away for a long period of time and have started to feel isolated.  Have them imagine their joy at receiving a letter from home.  They'd most likely read it again and again, savoring every word.  Explain that in a sense, we are strangers in a foreign land.  But we have the opportunity of receiving a very special letter from home; one which offers divine guidance, instruction, and encouragement.  This letter is our patriarchal blessing, and is sent from our Heavenly Father to a child He loves dearly.
