Great Family Home Evening Idea

Cell Phone Liahona

For one of our family nights, we talked with our four children about the story of the Liahona in the Book of Mormon (see 1 Nephi 1618Alma 37:38–46). We then told them to use my son’s cell phone as if it were a Liahona (I had taped a picture on the back), and it would lead them to the “promised land.” I sent text messages to the cell phone every few minutes with directions that took the children on a journey through the neighborhood. The messages finally led them to a neighbor’s house, where my wife and I were waiting with open arms and some delicious treats. The activity helped the Liahona story come to life for our children.
