3 Nephi 17:4-10 Jesus Heals the Afflicted

Try this classic handicap awareness exercises to help family members start to understand the challenges of living with a handicap:

1. Set up some chairs in random spots throughout the room. Blindfold someone and have them try to make their way from one side of the room to the other. Have a family member try it on one foot.
2. Have a family member try to write something while blindfolded.
3. Have one family member cover his ears while others talk softly. See if he can figure out what they're talking about by reading lips.

How do you think these people felt after Jesus healed them? Why do you think Heavenly Father allows people to have afflictions?
