We finally had a Christmas party, the first in three years since the More Good Foundation was created. It was a great opportunity to share happy moments with family and friends. More Good Foundation has in fact completed three years of existence, and we are moving forward fast. We have many great ideas that we will be able to implement in the near future to move forward the work of the Lord online. Follow a few pictures…

Yesterday a friend told me that he found something interesting about me at this website:

newyorktimesbestsellerlist.org

If we scroll down we can find one very nice video about the conversion story of brother Ott Dameron (my good neighbor)

and my own conversion story. The funny thing for my friend was that they titled my video by saying

Watch The founder of More Good Foundation, from Italy:

I have been working for the More Good Foundation from the beginning, and I am still doing it, but the real founder is David Neeleman, the famous Mormon, the same person who founded JetBlue and now Azul, in Brazil.

In any case, the website also call the Prophet, president Gordon B. Hinckley,

Revered President Hinckley…

We do not call “reverend” our prophets, but what is important is that they provided a great link to a very good video, where President Hinckley shares his testimony

Another good story about the More Good Foundation. This time from the Daily Herald:

For better or for worse, people trust the Internet. When it comes to finding information about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often it’s for worse — especially if you’re someone who has an interest in helping the church to spread its doctrines. Jim Engebretsen remembers getting a taste of what the Internet has to say about Mormonism while serving as president of an LDS proselytizing mission in Oklahoma.

A great new website has been created by the Church about the Savior. Using the teachings and testimonies of apostles and prophets, JesusChrist.lds.org affirms our faith in the Son of God.

Now, even a computer-animated video featuring the March 2008 special issue of the Ensign and Liahona is available on the new Web site SpecialMagazine.lds.org. The video testifies of the Savior Jesus Christ and visually outlines the contents of the issue, which is focused exclusively on Him. It describes the messages and testimonies included in the magazine and emphasizes the central position of Jesus Christ in Church members’ worship. The video can be linked to or downloaded and e-mailed to those who may be interested in the message or in obtaining a copy of the magazines for themselves.

The More Good Foundation has also launched a new website about the life and teaching of the Savior Christ.org.

This is something that President Gordon B. Hinckley said in 1981: a prophet is a prophet, especially a Mormon prophet!

“With the growth of the Church, we likely could never build a hall large enough to accommodate all who would wish to assemble in oneplace. Nor would accelerating travel costs make possible their coming. The gifts of science have provided a more convenient way. We are confident that as the work of the Lord expands, he will inspire men to develop the means whereby the membership of the Church, wherever they may be, can be counseled in an intimate and personal way by his chosen prophet. Communication is the sinew that binds the Church as one great family. Between those facilities which are now available and those which are on the horizon, we shall be able to converse one with another according to the needs and circumstances of thetime.” (October 1981 Conference)

The Internet is providing us with the tools we need for improving and accelerate communication among members and with friends of other faiths. It would be impossible to spread the Gospel among billions of people on the earth without the Internet. I am sure that in the days ahead we will see even greater developments and miracles.

Recently the Daily Universe (BYU newpaper) published a nice article about the More Good Foundation and what we do to help the Church spread the Gospel online:

“Blogging about a conversion story or about a favorite scripture may seem strange. However, there are an increasing number of members going online to share their beliefs. The More Good Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Orem, Utah helps members do just that.

Jim Engebretsen, assistant dean of Corporate Relations at the BYU Marriott School, was serving as a mission president in Oklahoma from 1998 to 2001. Missionaries told him they were being turned down after investigators searched about Mormons on the Internet and found anti-Mormon websites. Engebretsen decided that something needed to be done and two and a half years ago, the More Good Foundation was started.

The foundation receives its name from Joseph Smith, who stated that Mormon meant “more good.” The goal is to provide a non-authoritative voice that promotes LDS beliefs and encourages members to share their beliefs with the world.”
