hmmm...maybe you have to be invited to the event to see it??
well, I'll post the "Event Description" for you
I KNOW THIS IS LONG, BUT PLEASE READ IT! OR AT LEAST READ THE PARAGRAPHS WITH DOLLAR SYMBOLS AT THE BEGINNING!
"I am pleased to announce that effective immediately all worth and able young men will have the option of being recommended for missionary service beginning at the age of 18, instead of 19.
Today I am pleased to announce that able, worthy young women who have the desire to serve may be recommended for missionary service beginning at the age of 19, instead of 21."
For how many of you, or someone you know, this was a life-changing announcement? How many of you remember the excitement that spread through the members of the church that day, almost ten months ago? Think of how many fingers were spreading the news via text message and Facebook. How many more mothers were already crying. Think of the standing ovation that took place at the MTC, and of the many phone calls made around the world that night. That was an exciting day! It was a day that people started to recognize God's hastening of His work.
And God really is hastening His work. The age changes and the upcoming technology changes for missionaries are just the beginning. When called upon to act, the members of the Church need to be ready to respond like never before. This is not just "missionary work," this is the "work of salvation," and we're a part of it.
$$$$ What we'd like to do with this event is have every member who has an account with Facebook to post something about the Church on Friday August 2, 2013. It can be anything: your favorite Mormon Message, a link to a favorite General Conference talk, a picture of you at the temple, LDS paintings, an experience that strengthened your testimony, etc. Something that is personal to you, and would inspire thought in someone else. In your post, say why what you posted is meaningful to you. Let your testimony and the Spirit touch those around you. Let's literally flood the Earth (or at least the News Feed) with His gospel.
$$$$ In order to keep the News Feed flooded the whole day, post during the time that the first letter of your last name starts with (i.e. John Smith would post between 6 pm and 8 pm for "S"). If you want to post more than once, or at a different time, please do, but the goal is to keep the posts going all day.
10 AM - 12 PM: A-D
12 PM - 2 PM: E-H
2 PM - 4 PM: I-L
4 PM - 6 PM: M-P
6 PM - 8 PM: Q-T
8 PM - 10 PM: U-Z
$$$$ PLEASE INVITE ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS WHO ARE MEMBERS TO JOIN US IN THIS EVENT! We want this to be like a domino effect! The more people that get involved with this, the more of an effect we will have! Everyone has something to share. We have all had experiences that no one else has. Let's open our mouths/fingers and share what is most important to us; the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As we, the members of His Church, open our mouths and share the gospel with those around us, we will see the changes in our lives and in the lives of those we share with.
Disclaimer: I'm not the one that came up with this. That honor belongs to Isavelia Sanchez and Sister Cheyenne Montgomery.
