HAPPY NEW YEAR!! HAPPY 2021!! Holy cow that's crazy! I can't believe I was in Perú last year for New Years. Crazy what a year can do, right?
Well this week was a big one for social media of the Florida Tampa Mission! I won't take too much time for this but I'll share a few highlights:)
-we met with Tom Larsen (top dawg at the social media department) and we walked him through our new process that we were wanting to roll out in the mission and he LOVED IT. We got to pick his brain and it was so crazy to hear about how they receive revelation. Social media really is a tool that the Lord needs us to use to hasten His work.
-we got to meet with our area leader, Lee Donaldson! We asked him about how we can take best practices from other missions to put into our plan here in the FTM!
-we met with several missions from ALL over the country getting stats and picking their brains about using their personal profiles to find people!
-that brings us to last Saturday when we had our BIG presentation with President Hollingsworth to present to him our idea we had spent over a week working on. After the 45 minutes were over, he looked at us with the biggest smile and asked "when is the soonest we could implement this? All of it." WE WERE SHOCKED. Last time there was a lot of questions and this time around there were absolutely none.
-starting this week, we are able to train missionaries on using their personal profiles to find, teach and baptize! They will be able to join groups, use zip codes to find people in their areas and more. This has taken 9 months to get approved by our mission president and we are so grateful for this next chance to use a new tool to hasten the Lords work!!
-another super great thing happened this week was that we started running a different type of ad that basically replicates a media referral from the church and so as a social media council, we got to act as the referral center for our mission! So many referrals were coming in and we got to input all the information and pass these people on!!
It's been different not teaching people or finding people for my own companionship to teach but there's something that is so special about finding people and sending them to specific companionships that we know will be the best for these people.
Each calling that we are given in life brings different responsibilities BUT it also brings so many different kinds of blessings. Coming on my mission I thought I was going to be finding people, teaching people and helping them enter in to the waters of baptism. Right now, my calling is to really help others bring people unto Christ. It has been the most humbling experience I have had on my mission so far.
I wanted to share a quote with you all from Sister Wixom.
"Because you are His child, He knows who you can become. He knows your fears and your dreams. He relishes your potential. He waits for you to come to Him in prayer. Because you are His child, you not only need Him, but He also needs you."
Sometimes I lose sight of my identity, of who I am or even who I am becoming. Those times happen and I am sure we all feel like it sometimes, but then because of those times we are able to feel and see a change in ourselves when we kneel and ask for help from our Heavenly Father. Our Heavenly Father loves us. He really does. We are His children. As the new year starts it is the PERFECT time to start this year with the knowledge of WHO we are. And that is loved children of a loving Heavenly Father.
I pray for you each day! I love you all so much!
