I just saw a report about missionaries being able to call or video chat with family every week. Not just on Mother's Day and Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHello, Chris, and thank you for taking time to comment. I happened to first hear about that when KSL reported it at the noon hour. Since I do my first daily checks of Church websites before I check the comments on my blog, I had read more details about this development and reported on it in a new post on my blog before I ever checked for new comments. This development seems to be overdue according to many, but at the same time, I have seen statements from others who worry it might be a distraction and a reason to lose focus. As soon as I saw the details about it, I felt it was going to be a very positive change, primarily because (as Elder Uchtdorf observed) this enables families to be more of an active part of their missionaries' labors.
DeleteThis is another great example of President Nelson acting decisively for the right reasons, and I am sure it will prove to be a blessing to missionaries and their families (but also the Church in general) in ways that most of us cannot currently foresee. Thanks again, Chris, for taking time to comment.
Plus just like letters and emails. The calls are only to be done on Preparation day.
ReplyDeleteThat will reduce the distraction. Ot sounds like a great development.
ReplyDeleteI for one saw this development as nothing but positive. The people of the Church who worry this could be a distraction from missionary labors seem to be the same people who felt that the Church sending calls electronically would detract from or discourage family members from gathering for the openings of call letters. I disagree with both mindsets. Due to my health necessitating my living at home while rendering my part-time service, I had consistent familial support in the course of my labors, and that proved helpful to me in that scenario. So, by extension, I think this will prove to be more of a blessing for all missionaries worldwide than those who are complaining might now recognize. And since each missionary has individual say on the details of contacting their families, if any of them feel a weekly contact would be too distracting for them, such contact can & will be scheduled differently as needed. Thanks, Chris!
