Come Follow Me · family night · missionary prep
This is not a novelty preacher and not a joke domain. It is a quiet study companion for a Latter-day Saint family: today's Come Follow Me block, a question a twelve-year-old can actually answer, a prompt for family night, and a gentle text at 6:30 in the morning only if you asked for one. It does not summarize the scriptures for you or hand you a testimony. It asks a good question and waits for the room to answer.
This week · Come Follow Me
The bot will not summarize the Restoration for you or write your Sunday lesson. Tonight it asks who in the room has planted something that has not come up yet — a habit, a prayer, a hard relationship — and it waits. When a nine-year-old says "my tomato plant," it follows that, not a study guide.
Blocks follow the published weekly reading. You can read ahead, fall behind, or sit on one verse for a week. The bot keeps your place either way.
Tonight's prompts · one block, four voices
Everyone in the family reads the same block, but the question meets them where they are. A five-year-old and a returning missionary should not get the same prompt — so they don't.
Missionary prompts are labeled PREP — they are practice, not doctrine to memorize.
A streak chart that is allowed to break
Missed days stay visible instead of resetting your count to zero. The point is to open the book more weeks than not — not to protect a number.
Days the family opened the block. Five missed days, still shown. No shame mode.

Six things it does — and won't do
This week's block loads on its own, aligned to the published schedule. No hunting for the reading or the page.
Parent, youth, child, and missionary each get prompts fit for them. A five-year-old is asked about a seed, not systematic theology.
Consistency without shame. Missed days stay visible; the number never resets to zero to punish you.
A single opening prompt, a scripture, and a closing question — enough for a Monday night, not a seminary syllabus.
Practice teaching a chapter in ninety seconds, roleplay a question, review a lesson. Labeled practice, never scripture-as-script.
No ads, no data sold, children's mode is COPPA-minded. Your family's answers stay on your account, not in a training set.
A month of blocks · sample schedule
A cut from the Book of Mormon reading year. "Family night" is the Monday prompt set; "Focus verse" is where the bot tends to slow the room down.
| Week | Block | Theme | Focus verse | Family night | Min |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| This week | Alma 32–35 | Faith as a seed | Alma 32:27 | Plant & nourish | 12 |
| Next | Alma 36–38 | Alma's conversion | Alma 36:3 | Trust & deliverance | 10 |
| +2 | Alma 39–42 | Justice & mercy | Alma 42:23 | The plan explained | 14 |
| +3 | Alma 43–52 | Title of Liberty | Alma 46:12 | What we stand for | 11 |
| +4 | Alma 53–63 | Stripling warriors | Alma 56:47 | "We do not doubt" | 13 |
| +5 | Helaman 1–6 | Pride & peace | Helaman 5:12 | The sure foundation | 10 |
Reading rhythm · two-week grid
Each cell is a two-hour block; brighter means more sessions started. The bright band is right after dinner; the two hottest cells are Sunday evening and Monday family night — exactly where you'd hope.
The bot never nudges during the dark cells — school mornings and late nights are left alone.
The month, in four gentle gauges
Gold: days you gathered. Sage: partial or read-ahead. Grey: rest days, kept visible, no penalty.
Set to 7:30pm, after dinner. Optional, and silent on the Sabbath if you choose.
Who this is for — and what it will never be
One week, one family
Family opens Alma 32 together. The bot asks the "seed" question; the nine-year-old talks about a tomato plant. Twelve minutes.
Family-night mode: one prompt, one verse, one closing question. Everyone names something they'll "water" this week.
Nobody gathers. Soccer, homework, life. The streak shows a gap and says nothing about it.
Optional morning nudge to the teen who asked for one: a single verse for the bus. No push to the others.
Missionary-track sibling practices teaching Alma 32 in ninety seconds; the bot plays an honest, respectful investigator.
A rest day, kept on the chart. Sunday the family gathers again — more weeks than not, which was the whole point.
From two families who use it
"What sold me is what it doesn't do. It never guilt-trips my kids about a missed night, and it never tries to answer for us. It just asks something worth answering and lets my seven-year-old go first."
— Rebecca H., mother of four · Family plan"My son used the missionary track for three months before the MTC. Practicing a chapter out loud to a patient, honest 'investigator' did more for his confidence than any pep talk I gave him."
— Elder K.'s dad, Mesa AZ · Family plan + missionary trackWhere families are studying
The Come Follow Me block is the same the world over; the prompts follow it in the language your family speaks at the table. Active households by language this season:

Straight answers
No. Book of Mormon Bot is an independent study aid. It is not produced, endorsed, or approved by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and it is not a parody either. It points you back to the scriptures and your own leaders for anything that needs authority.
No. It asks questions fit for each person's age and waits. It will not summarize the Restoration, write a lesson, or hand out a testimony. The goal is to get the family talking about the block, not to replace the reading.
Nothing punishing. Missed days stay visible on the chart and your count does not reset to zero. There is no "you broke your streak" alert. The aim is more weeks than not, not a perfect number.
Yes. Children's mode is COPPA-minded, there are no ads, and nothing your family types is sold or used to train models. Answers stay on your account. You can turn nudges off entirely.
It lets a youth or prospective missionary practice teaching a chapter, answering a question, or giving a ninety-second overview, with the bot playing a respectful, honest investigator. Everything is clearly labeled practice — never scripture to memorize as a script.
