Vote for Pedro

 The flippin’ best one yet.

Pedro offers you his protection. But Jesus offers eternal salvation.

Come, Follow Me – April 21–27

📖 Doctrine and Covenants 37–40: “If Ye Are Not One Ye Are Not Mine”

We learn that unity is more than just being in the same room—it’s being on the same covenant path. Let’s bring that unity into our homes, classes, quorums, and ministering efforts. As Napoleon would say:

 

“You know, like, if we all worked together… we could probably like… be Zion or something.”

🤝 Ministering Reminder

“I see you’re drinking 1% when you could be ministering full-time.”

 

Don’t wait for someone to tell you what to do—just go do something kind this week. A message, a drop-off, a prayer, a visit. Let’s be one.

—Elder Dynamite

 In Conclusion… GOSH!

This week, whether you’re baking, riding horses, or dominating in Conference Kahoot, remember:

 

“Just follow your heart. That’s what I do.” — Napoleon Dynamite

 

Let’s strive to be one in purpose, one in faith, and one in Christ—because “if ye are not one, ye are not mine.” There’s power in unity, purpose in every calling, and joy in the gospel (even if you don’t have sweet dance moves yet).

 

So get out there. Do your ministering. Show up. Serve someone. Bake something. Feed the missionaries. Read your scriptures. And if all else fails…

 

Stay home and eat all the freakin’ chips”—or come to church and feed your spirit instead.

 

See you Sunday at 9AM. One-hour Easter meeting. Don’t be late. Don’t forget your tots.

Love,

Your Bishopric
