The Gospel Protects Us

Wrap a raw egg in *several* layers of egg cartons and tape.

Invite students to bounce the bundle off the wall or drop it on the floor.

Take the package back, pulled it apart, and showed the students the sheltered, unbroken egg inside.

Teach your students that the gospel was designed to protect each of them in the same way—by helping them build layers of testimony as they kept the commandments.
