The Restoration of the Church began when Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ visited Joseph Smith in 1820. After that, other important things happened to bring Jesus Christ’s Church back to earth. Read these cards, cut them out, glue them to paper, and play a matching game.

… so I know They have bodies like me!
Joseph Smith translated the golden plates …
… so I can read the Book of Mormon!

… so I can be baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!
Peter, James, and John restored the Melchizedek Priesthood …
