Teachers: The lessons in the manual contain more information than you will probably be able to teach in one class period. Seek the Spirit of the Lord in selecting the scripture passages, stories, activities, questions, and other lesson materials that best meet the needs of class members.

The lesson manual includes a picture of Lehi's vision of the tree of life that you can use in your lesson (see lesson manual, page 9). For other ideas on pictures, try browsing through the Gospel Art Picture Kit, which is available online or in your meetinghouse library.

Music

Music can invite the Spirit into your class and reinforce doctrines and principles in the lesson. For ideas on hymns that would be appropriate for this week's lesson, use the topical index in the back of the hymnbook or use the online topical index or scripture-hymn index. Using the Interactive Church Music Player on the Church Music site, you can listen to a hymn, download a hymn, or read the words of a hymn. For suggestions on using hymns or other music in your class, read "Music" in Teaching, No Greater Call, pages 172–74.
