There is much about my life that is a mystery:
"Why the dryer eats socks?",
"Why the boys do not have better aim?" (I know it's gross, but really it had to be asked),
and "Why do I gain 10 pounds just by looking at a cookie?" You know the essential life altering questions that I have from day to day, because if I had to answer the truly big questions of:
"Where did I come from?",
"Why am I here?", and
"Where am I going?"
I might crawl back into bed and rethink a few things.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ offers such peace, and knowing God's central plan for our happiness is one of those infinite blessings that brings me hope and joy. I recently helped my mom create some visual aids for a class she was teaching (it was a rush job so she didn't get my best work) and decided to make a little more effort in the design and share them with you.
Look for the universal kit tomorrow and hopefully a Spanish kit soon as well, depending on what happens around the house with "the littles". This is one of those instances that I wished I knew more languages so I could offer this for more people, but I am working on a few resources so we will see what I can come up with.
The kit contains pdf and jpg files of a printable version of the plan. I have also included each of the elements and words in a png format (about a 12x12 size) for printing as visual aids. I made them a little larger than most printers can handle, but I wanted the visual aids to be big enough to see in a classroom setting and I figured it was easier to make the png smaller without quality loss.

This is terrific, Allison! I love how you've got the arrow pointing to the Celestial Kingdom after the final judgment. That is our goal!

I am on a Senior Mission. We needed something to explain the plan of salvation to younger people and those who need a visual learning method. I found
this and downloaded it. I hope I can make it a little smaller for missionary use. Thank you for your time and effort to put this out.

Is there a way I could download a blank copy, this would be a great review for my Sr. Primary to fill in the blanks! Thanks so much for sharing.

I am part of a Senior couple serving in Africa. I was so happy for the Universal plan chart so I could add Portuguese in for our Primary children. Thanks so much for the cute graphics.
