From Come, Follow Me :
From Enos we learn that prayer is a sincere effort to draw near to God and seek to know His will. When you pray with this intent, you are more likely to discover, as Enos did, that God hears you and truly cares about you, your loved ones, and even your enemies (see Enos 1:4–17).
The Lord can help me influence my family for good.
From Come, Follow Me :
Maybe there’s someone in your family who you wish you could help come unto Christ, but you wonder if your efforts are making any difference. What can you learn from Enos 1:1–4 about Jacob’s influence on his son Enos?
Think about how these words: "the words which I had often heard my father speak ..." are what brought Enos to his knees. Ponder what you can do so that your words can continue to reflect “eternal life and the joy of the saints” to those you love for generations to come.
In this article, Elder Bruce Hafen and his wife, Marie, share some experiences they had with their teen-aged son who, like Enos, went to his own "forests" to sort out some of his own questions about his faith, his mission, and his future. There he felt a closeness to his grandfather whose journal he had been reading, and felt his influence. His grandfather's words, along with the words of his father, caused his "soul to hunger." He received and followed direction for his life, as his heart turned to his fathers.
Having watched this kind of relationship develop between my father and my son, all because of an honest personal journal, I have no doubt that Elijah planted in [his] heart the same promises the Lord had planted in my father's heart—and in my own. There really is a bond and a sense of belonging across the generations on both sides of the veil."
President Henry B. Eyring shares that after an experience of seeing charity extended toward his family: "I heard in my mind—not in my own voice—these words: "I'm not giving you these experiences for yourself. Write them down."
"Tonight, and tomorrow night, you might pray and ponder, asking the questions: Did God send a message that was just for me? Did I see His hand in my life or the lives of my children? I will do that. And then I will find a way to preserve that memory ..." O Remember, Remember

What can we learn from a mother who wrote in her personal journal for over fifty-five years? Jeanne recorded her thoughts and feelings and the events of her life every day from the time she was thirteen years old until she could no longer write. A young man recounts the influence of his mother's journals on generations of family members.

The Memories Gallery is a place where all of the photos, stories, documents, and audio recordings that you add to FamilySearch are collected. Read more here and in The Family History Guide: The Amazing Audio Feature of The FamilySearch Memories App. Also watch Uploading to FamilySearch Memories.
Create a collection of the spiritual experiences of your family members that they would like to share. See this Book of Mormon Central article, and Week 24 Weekly Family History Activities 2021
See what words of wisdom and counsel are in your ancestors' journals, by exploring the following resources:
You may want to record and share inspiration you receive from reading journals of those who have gone before you. Try reading them aloud using the FamilySearch Memories App (for more information watch Uploading to FamilySearch Memories).
You might want to transcribe the journals of ancestors and share with family members. Social media can be utilized to share, and a book can also be published of the transcriptions. Once they have been recorded and shared, the journals can be donated to a library or to the church. See Gifts and Donations.
Another fun idea is to act out the stories from these journals, or stories you know from the lives of your ancestors.
See MyHeritage DeepStory (give voice to your family stories with AI technology) to upload a photo of an ancestor and automatically convert it to an amazing video biography.
I can receive forgiveness as I exercise faith in Christ.
From Come, Follow Me :
At times you may wonder if your sins have been forgiven, even after you’ve repented of those sins. What insights do you gain from Enos’s experience in Enos 1:1–8? How did Enos show his faith in Jesus Christ before and after he received forgiveness?
See "The Plan of Salvation" activity in Week 32, 2022 and more activities relating to repentance and forgiveness in Week 3, 2023.
As I strive to keep His commandments, God will bless me.
“Come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel.”
From Come, Follow Me :
The invitation “Come unto Christ” appears often in the Book of Mormon. In fact, one of the book’s main purposes is to extend this invitation to everyone. As you read Omni 1:25–26, what words or phrases do you find that describe how to come unto Christ? What will you do to come unto Him more completely?
See the activities in Week 53, 2023.
God will work through me as I follow His guidance.
From Come, Follow Me :
Why are you grateful that Mormon followed the Lord’s instruction to include these writings (consisting of 1 Nephi through Omni)?
Words of Mormon 1
6 But behold, I shall take these plates, which contain these prophesyings and revelations, and put them with the remainder of my record, for they are choice unto me; and I know they will be choice unto my brethren.
7 And I do this for a wise purpose; for thus it whispereth me, according to the workings of the Spirit of the Lord which is in me. And now, I do not know all things; but the Lord knoweth all things which are to come; wherefore, he worketh in me to do according to his will.
We have been asked to keep and preserve records of and for our own families.
