I’m curious if others would be interested as I would be to have people be able to text in a gospel topic, and receive a text back with say the topical guide entries, which an individual could then text back for the scripture reference they wanted and receive the verse.

Expanding on the idea of “text reminders”, I’d like to expand that from just the ward clerk to be any quorum/group leader and/or secretary to send reminders of activities, home teaching assignments, or other appointments to the members of their group.

And I’d like to see more than just a one-way text; I want to see reporting capabilities, too. Consider this:

“Have you fulfilled your home teaching assignment to the Jones family this month? If yes, please reply to this message and include any additional information that may need to be conveyed to the bishopric about the Jones family.”

I would love to have the Church’s map site tell exactly which ward the address sent is assigned to, and what it’s meeting times and Bishop’s contact info are.

The problem I have now, is that the two wards located across a major highway from my home are shown as the first two wards on the website, not the ward that my home address is assigned to (which shows up third on the site.)

Having contact info for the Bishop would be nice, instead of a ward phone number that only happens to have someone to answer it for certain hours on Sunday and an unknown day or two during the week when the bishopric meets.

I’d love to see a ward clerk be able to set up text reminders to members of their appointments with the bishop or for youth/ward activities.
