I can gain my own testimony through the Holy Ghost.
To help your children learn to grow their own testimony, you could show them the picture below and ask them how we help baby animals grow. You could then relate this to taking care of our testimonies. What care do our testimonies need? How can we tell if they are growing?

If you don't want all the fuss with the dirt and seeds, there is this option that I love.
How did Alma gain his strong testimony of Jesus Christ? You could read Alma 5:44–46 with your children to find answers to this question. Perhaps your children could write down a plan to do one thing this week to strengthen their testimony.
For older students, print this in B&W and have them write/draw in the conversation bubble what Alma said.
You can have the students write on the back of this gift tag one thing they can do to strengthen their testimony this week.

Happy Father's Day!
The Savior took upon Himself my sins, pains, and afflictions.
How can you help your children understand Alma 7:10–13 so they can know that Jesus Christ cares about them and can help them? Perhaps you could ask them to share an experience when they were sick or in pain or had another problem that made them sad. How did others help them feel better? Bear your testimony that the Savior has suffered those things too, and talk about a time when He comforted and helped you.

As you and your children read Alma 7:11–13, look for the things Jesus Christ suffered for us. Invite your children to use words and phrases they found to complete this sentence: “Jesus suffered ____________so He can help me.” How does it help us to know that Jesus understands our struggles? How do we receive His help? Share your testimony of Jesus Christ.
Following Jesus Christ keeps me on the straight path back to Heavenly Father.
Let your children look in a mirror as you read Alma 5:14 (see also this week’s activity page). What does it mean to have the Savior’s image in our countenance?
How can you use Alma’s description of the path back to Heavenly Father to help your children learn to make good choices? You could read Alma 7:19–20 to them and let them act out walking in “crooked paths” and walking in a straight path. Help them think of choices that help us stay on the path and other choices that take us off the path. You could also look at pictures of Jesus together and talk about things He did to show us the path back to Heavenly Father. A song like “I’m Trying to Be like Jesus” (Children’s Songbook, 78–79) could provide some ideas.
I think it would be fun to turn the markers/ chalk over to the students and let them draw on the board while you read from the scriptures.
Español
Hola amigos Tengo muchas ganas de ayudarte con más materiales, pero realmente no tengo tiempo. Estos materiales solo están aquí porque hice español hace 4 años. Eventualmente desaparecerán. Los miembros portugueses tienen 8 personas que ayudan a crear su propio sitio web. Puedes ayudar a tu gente si estás dispuesto a dedicar tu tiempo a traducir y aprender algunas cosas en la computadora. Estoy muy dispuesto a donar mis materiales de forma gratuita, pero solo necesito un par de miembros españoles para hacer el resto. Dios ama a todo su pueblo.
Hello Crystal. Nobody contacted me by email.
Thanks for the resources in Spanish. I can help you, too. I’m not good at technology but I can try. I can help with translation
I just have to say thank you for all that you do, from the bottom of my heart! You are wonderful to go above and beyond. I feel your love and am grateful to have this available at my fingertips!
I see this in Spanish and just see that you are truly an amazing woman! I cannot recommend you enough to others! Thank you
The match up is such a great idea! But there is a misspelled word. Can you correct that?
