so i have missed a couple days, sorry about that, sometimes life catches up to you. any way here are the days i have missed plus today.

December 5:
3 Ne. 17:21–24. 21And when he had said these words, he wept, and the multitude bare record of it, and he took their little children, one by one, and blessed them, and prayed unto the Father for them. 22And when he had done this he wept again; 23And he spake unto the multitude, and said unto them: Behold your little ones. 24And as they looked to behold they cast their eyes towards heaven, and they saw the heavens open, and they saw angels descending out of heaven as it were in the midst of fire; and they came down and encircled those little ones about, and they were encircled about with fire; and the angels did minister unto them.

Jesus Christ blessed little children because He loved them. Show your love for a brother, sister, or friend by sharing a toy or helping them in some way.

December 6:
3 Ne. 18:6–7. 6And this shall ye always observe to do, even as I have done, even as I have broken bread and blessed it and given it unto you.
7And this shall ye do in remembrance of my body, which I have shown unto you. And it shall be a testimony unto the Father that ye do always remember me. And if ye do always remember me ye shall have my Spirit to be with you.

Jesus asked His followers to always remember Him, especially when partaking of the sacrament. Write in your journal how you feel about the Savior.

December 7:
3 Ne. 18:21. 21Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name, that your wives and your children may be blessed.

Jesus Christ taught us to pray with our families. Help your family remember to have family prayer today.

December 8:
3 Ne. 23:1. 1And now, behold, I say unto you, that ye ought to search these things. Yea, a commandment I give unto you that ye search these things diligently; for great are the words of Isaiah.

Jesus Christ commanded the Nephites to study the words of Isaiah. Ask a parent to read Isaiah 53:3–5 with you and talk about the Atonement.

[Isa. 53:3–5 3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4¶Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. ]
