JUNE: Scripture Study Helps

Information on the children's Book of Mormon photo books:



There is not a link or website to go to and order your prints for the children's Book of Mormon Quiet Books, but we have complied all the information you will need.


The copies were bought at River Printing Company (a copy center store on 1152 W. Riverdale Road, Ogden).  When you go to the store, they will most likely have some copies already printed out there and ready for you to pick up.  The copies come on an 8.5 x 11 card stock sheet and you will have to cut them into fourths.  If you would like multiple individual books, call their phone number and order before you go (801.621.7127). It will cost $2.50 plus tax and this is for the copies only, not the plastic book to insert your copies into.  You will have to buy two or three little 4x6 photo books and combine them to get the number of pages you will need.  You can purchase these from Walmart or a dollar store.  At River Printing Company, they also have other books to print such as Joseph Smith, Prophets, and ABC's.  If you have questions on how to put them together, call Jeannie Nay.

3. Understand doctrines & principles

4. Feel the importance of doctrines & principles 

Write: tell yourself why it is important for you to incorporate the principle in your life now 


5. Apply the doctrines & principles
