Hola a todos!
It has been a crazy couple of weeks in the office! We, as the social media specialists, have been quite slammed, as usual, but very busy with training the mission. We were able to present in 2 zone conferences this week, one of those being in person! That was super fun. We also held a social media devotional this Sunday, and everything went super well! We are also going to every single zone in our mission and doing virtual training on how to work on Facebook using stories, sometimes I still can't believe that our main tool to work and find people is on Facebook, it is crazy, but it is super awesome, and I love being at the heart of it because I hear of so many awesome miracles that have come from Facebook.
Speaking of miracles, we had asked the Elders who are currently serving in my beloved old area of Palma de Mallorca to share a miracle they had recently seen on Facebook, and it is just so cool and so awesome that I wanted to include it here. We have 6 pages throughout our whole mission, and all the missionaries are in charge of publishing regularly on these pages, you likely have seen very similar things going on in your local Facebook. And the miracle that the Elders in Palma shared is an excellent example on why we do just that. A person was just on Facebook scrolling through their feed, as many people do, and for some reason, she saw a post made on our page out in the islands. The Spirit touched her heart, and she went to the page, and SHE texted the missionaries so she could know more. The missionaries quickly taught her the lessons, and she is going to be baptized here very soon. The Lord still prepares people to receive the joy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and He does so by guiding them to us through their feeds. It is so crazy to think about, but that is the new normal, so awesome!!!
Just as the Lord leads and guides these people to hear the good word, the Lord also guides us in our lives. We are faced with decisions every single day, sometimes it's debating what cereal to eat, and other times its bigger decisions, where to work, where to live, what to study, etc. But, just as I said, the Lord can guide us and help us make the correct decisions. With that, it requires faith. Luckily, our beloved Prophet gave an amazing talk on faith, and how to grow it. I loved that he said if we want to grow our faith, we must do things that require faith. And if we do, we can move our personal mountains in our lives, with help from God. If you haven't read that talk yet, ya should!
Until next week!
