Enlightening Exchanges

This is one post in an A-Z series of 26 where I am writing about living as a Mormon in the wilderness of Kuantan


Facebook is one of the main ways I keep in touch with people of the same faith

The main way we communicate with other church members while living in the wilderness is through social media. Facebook, in particular, is a fertile ground for replacing what we miss in typical Sunday School lessons in a regular ward or branch.

I involve myself in enlightening exchanges with both members and non-members alike. Such exchanges sometimes delve into deep discussion and doctrine which enables me to both share my own unique language of understanding of gospel topics, and hear and take on board ideas, opinions and new perspectives from others.

These exchanges on facebook really represent  an important spiritual component of my life whilst tucked away in the wilderness. I'm extremely grateful for those who have taken similar amounts of time as I to share engaging and insightful comments on facebook which help mould my views and increase my perspectives.
