This week on social media, leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints posted about scripture study, family history work and the upcoming Friend to Friend broadcast for Primary children.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted a Facebook video about studying the scriptures. On Nov. 3 he shared: “Choose to be humble. Voluntarily seek the Lord and trust His guidance. We’re more prepared to hear Him when we have a teachable heart.”
Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles wrote on Facebook on Oct. 30 about his experience golfing with Tony Finau and the professional golfer’s exhibiting the light of Christ.
Elder Andersen said, “It should be no surprise that a person who is so devoted to the Savior and to his family would also be recognized as the ‘nicest’ player on the PGA Tour after an extensive survey of fellow golfers, caddies, media members and golf executives by Golf Digest.”
On Nov. 1, Sister J. Anette Dennis, first counselor in the Relief Society general presidency, posted on Facebook about family history. “Because priesthood keys have been restored, we have the opportunity to do family history work and not only remember and honor our ancestors but also perform the sacred temple work that can bind our generations together for eternity,” she said.
In a Nov. 2 Facebook post, Relief Society General President Camille N. Johnson posted about the Relief Society general advisory council. “Councils are part of the Lord’s divine pattern for seeking, receiving, and accomplishing His will,” she said. “We seek the spiritual gift of discernment — to know and understand His will through the power of the Holy Ghost.”
On Nov. 3, Brother Ahmad S. Corbitt, first counselor in the Young Men general presidency, shared gratitude on Facebook for being a surrogate father for Jess. He said their different ethnicities have never mattered, and he gave “thanks to the healing and happiness Jesus Christ makes possible.”
Sister Amy A. Wright, first counselor in the Primary general presidency, posted a clip on Facebook of the new season of Book of Mormon Videos. On Oct. 30, she said that as she watches the children’s love for the Savior, she feels their love for Him, as well as His love for all.
Brother Milton Camargo, first counselor in the Sunday School general presidency, wrote on Facebook on Nov. 3 about his recent time with his wife in visiting Church members in Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Panama. He said, “It was great to see the kingdom of God growing and to see His kind and faithful people.”
On Nov. 2, Primary General President Susan H. Porter shared a video of her and Remee and Mateo, her two new friends, on the Friend to Friend set. She invited all to watch the Friend to Friend broadcast on Nov. 5 at 10 a.m. MDT.
She said, “We are going to learn about our Heavenly Father’s love through activities, music, and a few stories I’m excited to share with you.”
Sister Tracy Y. Browning, second counselor in the Primary general presidency, also took to Facebook to extend an invitation to the Friend to Friend broadcast. On Nov. 4, along with a video of her and her young friend Rosalie, she said, “We will learn different ways we can show our love for Heavenly Father and how we can recognize His love for us.”
