Eldar Bednar writes in his talk "To sweep the Earth as With a Flood" was one of my favorite things we discussed in class this semester. Social media is a huge in this generation and I think it is so important that youth as well as adults know how to use it. It is important to spread the word of the gospel to everyone that will listen, but sometimes we get so busy with our daily lives that we don't do this consistently. Now sharing a video on Facebook or retweeting the prophet on twitter is helping share vital messages with one click of a button.
This holiday season "He is the gift" and "Because He lives" videos were released by the Church and went viral. I know for me it is so helpful to actually see, nit just in my mind, but on these videos why we celebrate these holidays and what we should be grateful for. Every time I watch these videos I can feel the spirit and it reminds me of why I'm here, and what I should be focusing on in life.
Using social media in a positive way is why God gave it to us, but its when people miss use it that it becomes a problem. We as Latter-day Saints need to be that example and show the world all the blessings that come from being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
