2) Hearts -- Clue: "Your heart tells a lot about you...and the Holy Ghost could tell your heart (and mind) a lot! Keep your heart soft by not listening to Satan and by listening to the Holy Ghost's spirit of revelation." (D&C 8:2,3)

3) Dum Dum Suckers --Clue (wrapped around stick): "Satan loves it when we play 'dumb' to the commandments, or our callings and responsibilities. As a matter of fact, if you're 'dumb' here (no knowledge and intelligence,) then you'll be 'dumb' there (the world to come.)" (D&C 130:18, 19)

4) Key Chain with the words "Celestial Kingdom...or Bust!" and a stick on 'jewel' on it -- Clue: "For who so is faithful unto the obtaining and magnifying the keys of the priesthood will receive all that our Heavenly Father has.
