Moses 5:12, Moses 5:5, Moses 5:1012, Moses 5:58; Moses 6:1And Adam and Eve blessed the name of God, and they made all things known unto their sons and their daughters. Moses 5:12
After Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden, they began to work to feed and clothe themselves. They also had a large family with many sons and daughters. (See Moses 5:12.)
The Lord gave Adam and Eve commandments, and they obeyed them (see Moses 5:5). They realized that their family was a blessing and knew that if they lived worthily, they would once again see Heavenly Father and be able to live with Him (see Moses 5:1011).
"Adam and Eve blessed the name of God, and [taught] all things ... unto their sons and their daughters" (Moses 5:12). They taught their children the gospel, to have faith in Jesus Christ, and to repent (see Moses 5:58; Moses 6:1).
Summary
After Adam and Eve were sent out of the Garden of Eden to live in the world, they worked very hard to provide for the needs of their children. They had many children and taught them the gospel and the ways of the Lord.

Assignment: Also read Doctrine and Covenants 68 (starting pg. 125) looking for instruction to parents. Also, Mosiah 4:14-15 (pg. 156 in Book of Mormon.)
What gift does Heavenly Father want all of his children to receive? Why would he give this gift to those as young as eight years old? How can you apply the words found in Mosiah in your own family?
