🧪Hey Bishop, I Know What We’re Gonna Do This Week!

📖 Come, Follow Me 

Doctrine & Covenants 60–63

“I Am with the Faithful Always”

If Phineas and Ferb can invent rollercoasters, time machines, and molecular rearrangers before lunch… surely we can carve out time to seek the Spirit.

 

💬 Spiritual Blueprint of the Week:

The Lord is asking the faithful to move forward, speak boldly, and trust Him with the details.

Family Challenge: Invent your own “Faith-inator” - ways to act on faith this week, big or small.

🧍‍♂️ Ministering Reminder

Be like Perry the Platypus- faithful, consistent, and quietly powerful.

Check in on your people. Send a message. Make a visit.

“Small things done consistently bring about mighty change.”
 

Moroni’s Quest 

Get those permission slips filled out and turned in ASAP. Link Here

If Moroni had a blueprint, it’d be full of strategy, courage, and spiritual firepower. No summer was ever wasted in his hands.

🎇 Final Thought - Faith Like a Blueprint

Phineas and Ferb wake up every morning and ask, “What are we gonna do today?” and then they build something that didn’t exist before. Rollercoasters. Time machines. Sandwich-scented hoverboards. Whatever it is, they don’t waste a single summer day.

 

The gospel asks the same of us, not to build inventions, but to build faith, build people, and build the kingdom of God. Heavenly Father didn’t send us here to just pass time. He sent us here to create something better with every choice we make.

 

So this week:

  • Build a friendship.

  • Repair something in your home or in your heart.

  • Forgive someone.

  • Say the prayer you’ve been avoiding.

  • Start the thing you’ve been putting off.

  • Visit the person who needs your presence more than your perfection.

There are 104 days of summer vacation (thanks, Phineas), and not one of them has to be ordinary when we live with purpose and power.

 

Because in the words of Phineas Flynn:

 

“Aren’t you a little young to be changing the world?”

 

“Yes… yes we are.”

 

But the faithful don’t wait for permission to make a difference. They just get to work.

 

And we’ve got the best Builder on our side. 🔨🧪✨

Let Brother Slade know your favorite Phineas and Ferb invention or just something great about your week and you'll get a special treat!
