The Living Water
The Samaritan Woman is taught by Jesus Christ and learns he is the living water. I like to use the song Give said the Little Stream to help my kids understand how important water is for life and reinforce that the gospel of Christ is the water for our souls.

Quote/Principle
Great tie in of the power the gospel can have in our lives as the living water, and how it does not run dry.
In commenting on the conversation between the Savior and the woman [at the well], Elder Robert L. Simpson taught: Throughout history men have always been looking for the easy way. [Some] have devoted their lives to finding the 'fountain of youth,' a miracle water which would bring everlasting life. Today [many] are still seeking … some magic 'fountain' that [will] bring forth success, fulfillment, and happiness. but most of the searching is in vain. ... It is only this 'living water,' the gospel of Jesus Christ, that can and will bring a happy, a successful, and an everlasting life to the children of men." The Savior's promise to that woman extends to all of our Heavenly Father's children. By living the gospel of Jesus Christ, we develop within ourselves a living spring that will quench eternally our thirst for happiness, peace, and everlasting life.
