Talk about what your child is doing at this time in his life. •Then, walk to the second square, explaining this square represents your child growing bigger. Explain that this is the time he prepares to go to the temple. •Continue walking to the third square which represents the temple You may want to put a picture of the temple in that square.•The fourth square represents your child’s mission. Again, you may choose to place a picture of a missionary in this square. •The fifth square contains a picture of the family, representing eternal life. When reaching the
