We are excited to have our missionaries using Facebook to share the gospel. They are using FB to share messages with investigators, members and friends both here and back home. They are not reading posts or messages from others since those are not related to their missionary purpose to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the Restored Gospel. Communication with family and friends back home will continue to be via email on P-days only.
We are also using video conferencing to more conveniently teach investigators and include members in our teaching. We are excited to use the tools that have been provided in these latter days to let others know of spiritual truths that bring peace in a troubled world. We are already seeing miracles and blessings by using technology to hasten the work.
With this most recent transfer, we said farewell to 10 wonderful missionaries. We will miss them and know they are going on to do great things in their lives. They learned so much on their missions that will benefit them in the future and we wish them all the best.
