Online On Christmas

Referral Center Mission at Bishop Allen's

Wednesday evening my mission went all went to the home of Bishop Allen.  He's the son of one of the leaders over our mission.  As a bishop, he volunteers to oversee a congregation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Part of that includes overseeing the young men and women in the Church by strengthening them spiritually and personally, and by helping them reach out to other young men and women.  This outreach helps strengthen their faith and help them share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with their friends.  I know that the ways I helped my friends learn about Jesus Christ and his modern prophets, and built my faith in him, when I saw the changes that took place in my friends' lives.  To help build the young men and women's faith in Christ and to share it with others, Bishop Allen held a fireside in his home, in which we presented how we do missionary work online, and suggested ways others could get involved in sharing the Gospel online.  One of the main ways we covered was sharing it with status updates on Facebook and such.  Our faith is so dear to us, that many of us forget as we hold it sacred to let it show in our daily lives, especially as we show our daily lives on the internet with friends and family across the world.  How often do we post an update to show how our families are remembering Christ?



Elder Spencer, showed me this video, that shows what Mary and Joseph's status updates would have looked like, as they might have shared some of the most sacred events of all time.
