“Life’s better when we do it together.” – Bandit 

📖 Come Follow Me

Doctrine & Covenants 29

“The Lord doesn’t just want to gather His people—He wants to protect, prepare, and empower them.”

 

This week, Come, Follow Me takes us into Doctrine & Covenants 29. It’s a beautiful reminder of God’s plan of salvation and His deep love for His children—even when hard things are ahead. Discuss together!


💬 Discussion starters:
• What does it mean to be “gathered”?
• How does agency help us become more like Jesus Christ?
• What’s something we can each do to better prepare for His return?

“I know it’s hard sometimes, but that’s what makes you strong!” – Bluey

💙 Until Next Time…

 

As we close out this week’s Bluey Bulletin, let’s take a deep breath and remember what matters most. Whether we’re swimming with scriptures, gathering around pancakes, or sitting quietly during sacrament, we’re doing something sacred—we’re growing together.

 

“You don’t have to be the best… just keep trying your best.” – Bingo

 

Keep showing up. Keep serving. Keep testifying. These small and simple things build something eternal.

 

“Sometimes you gotta make your own fun.” – Bandit

 

And hey—don’t forget to laugh along the way. Life isn’t perfect, but it’s beautiful, especially when lived with a whole lot of love, a little bit of chaos, and a gospel-centered heart.

 

“Because that’s what families do.” – Chili

 

You are loved. You are needed. And we’re so grateful you’re part of our ward family.

See you soon, friends. Wackadoo! 💙
