Explain that we know what Heavenly Father and Jesus look like, not only because of the teachings in the scriptures, but because some prophets (leaders of the Church) have seen Heavenly Father and Jesus and have written about them in the scriptures.
Display a picture of the First Vision (GAK 403). Tell the story of the First Vision to the younger children, and have the older children help you tell the story.
· How did Joseph Smith know what Heavenly Father and Jesus look like?
· What kind of bodies do Jesus and Heavenly Father have?
