Free Download:  Faith Grows We are learning about FAITH this week, and read Alma 32 when Alma compares faith to a seed. We are "experimenting" and sprouting our own lima beans at home. Talk about how we can grow our own faith in Jesus Christ (examples on the right side). Here's what to do: ① Soak Lima Beans in water over night. ② Dampen a paper towel and fold it into a quarter, so it fits into a sandwich sized zip lock bag. Place the paper towel inside the zip lock bag. Place three beans inside the baggie facing you (an inch apart from one another). Leave the bag open for air flow. ③ Staple "My Faith Grows" onto the top of the baggie. ④ Tape onto a window that will receive plenty of light. Note: By the next day, our little seeds had started to grow!
