Scripture Treasure Hunt Mutual Activity or lesson.

(Updated) SCRIPTURE HUNT Mutual Activity or Lesson.

To illustrate how important it is to search the scriptures, and to really study the scriptures and find their “hidden” meaning I decided to update (previous post) my Scripture Treasure Hunt Activity.

The final “treasure” is finding the Book of Mormon with a Twinkie and

“like a Twinkie the good stuff is inside”!

Each YW got a pocket-size edition of the  Book of Mormon with a Twinkie wrapped in a pirate bandana (found in the treasure hunt) and a small treasure chest with gold chocolate and bubble gum coins.
