Nobody Home

People pretending not to be home is a problem that has plagued missionaries since the start of time.

COVID Talk Opener

Longtime readers of the blog know that I am not a fan of this particular talk opener. However, I'll allow it under the circumstances above.

Your October 2020 General Conference Activity Packet

We are just under two weeks before General Conference which means you're going to be wanting to get your hands on the Fall 2020 General Conference Activity Packet. Well, dear reader, you've come to the right place. It is available in English, Spanish (translated by the talented Gaby Herrera), Portuguese (translated by the talented Dani Queiroz de Souza), and French (translated by the talented Sara Mayer).

You'll also want to subscribe to the Come, Follow Me Weekly Activity Page Newsletter.  Your subscription will get you an activity page in your inbox every Friday morning that corresponds to the scheduled Come, Follow Me lesson for the week. It is perfect for your little ones (and some of your big ones too). It is also completely free.

If you're looking to send some money my way, you could always order one of my books. I'd start with the Scripture Power Activity Book and then move from there to the Activity Book for LDS Kids or Now That I am Baptized next. Or you could pre-order my latest: Super Sunday Activity Book (use promo code PRE15 to save 15%). Finally, if you are looking for a book along the lines of the comic strips I feature on this website, consider purchasing Mission Daze--it's a collection of nearly 500 strips tracking the misadventures of a missionary from mission call to homecoming. It's the perfect gift for the missionary in your life.

If you have an Apple product, you might be interested in downloading one of my apps. LDS Coloring Book, LDS Scripture Heroes, or Book of Mormon Adventure are all fantastic products.

And, if that wasn't enough. You can also find me on the Come, Follow Me with David Ridges podcast this week as I guest host the lesson on 3 Nephi 12-16.

(Phew, that's enough self-promotion for a while!)

Good Missionary, Bad Missionary

I've definitely watched too many cop shows on TV in my day. Hence today's comic. I've got to wonder if this kind of good cop/bad cop routine has ever been tried in real life. At this point it is such a cliche that I doubt anyone would ever fall for it.

Guess what? I've got a new book coming out in November! You can pre-order a copy now at Cedar Fort's website. And if you use the promo code PRE15 you'll save 15% off the sale price. The book is full of the engaging activity pages you won't find anywhere else (except in my other books, occasionally the Friend, and the Come, Follow Me Activity Page Newsletter).

Yet More Missionary Laundry

 Not only does a mission instill a deep understanding of the gospel and strengthen testimonies, but it also serves as great instruction into adulting.

Fruit in Season

Why did we all settle on the apple as the forbidden fruit? Why not the banana? or the passion fruit? At any rate, today's comic is 100% scripturally accurate.

More Missionary Laundry

You don't mess around when it comes to washing socks.

COVID Time

You know the old idea that every one year is seven to a dog. Thanks to COVID, we are all living in dog years.
