Church Product Usage Pictures

Hey y'all!

As you know, I serve with a team at Church Headquarters called Quality Resolution Service. We coordinate repairs for content problems, so any text, link, and image errors with any lesson manuals, missionary pamphlets, general conference talks, magazine articles, and even scriptures.

We are a missionary-run team, so that means we get to coordinate and sometimes even fix these problems for free! Not a lot of church employees around the world are aware of our service and find themselves having to decline projects or repairs because they don't have the time.
QRS is putting together a presentation to introduce our repair team to other employees or repair teams.

We want to show real-life people that our team affects. Our team repairs English and Non-English content on church apps like Gospel Library, on church websites like LDS.org, and even PDFs of printed manuals. If you have ever used a church product, that means we affect you.

So take some pictures to show your gratitude for the products the church publishes for its members!

Please email me some nice pictures showing people using church products.



Picture ideas:


  • family in scripture study
  • sunday school class watching a video
  • primary teacher preparing using LDS.org
  • missionary discussion with an investigator reading a digital pamphlet
  • seminary teachers showing LDS.org on a tv screen
  • seminary classes using Gospel Library app
  • child keeping busy on the Gospel Library app in sacrament meeting



Helpful hints:

  • Showing your product usage would be best if showing how you use digital church products, since QRS mostly does digital repairs, but printed is good, too.
  • Candid photos are great, but posed photos are good, too.
  • We really want some racial and linguistic and environmental diversity to show how we impact the church globally. (by environmental, I mean you should try to take a picture outside to show where you are)

Thanks!
Sister Gee

P.S. If you know any missionaries or other church product users, copy and paste this post into an email or share the link to this post!

Either click the link below or go onto the Gospel Library app.
In the Liahona magazine, March 2016 has an excerpt from a conference address given by President Eyring, but the picture is of President Uchtdorf!

The article/talk is called "How to Build Unity".

This occurs in Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Italian, and English!

This is only happening on the app and the Language Materials Page at the link below.

Elder Stradling Story

I love my fellow missionaries and so I decided to share this story from Elder Stradling.

"I am a scam-baiter. I have a fake Google Voice number. By day, I'm a desk jockey, but by night, I'm a collection call vigilante. I get calls from the IRS, threatening tax fraud, or from Windows Tech Support, warning of the viruses infesting my computer, and I pick them up with full attentiveness. I give them every last drop of information they think they want. But they gotta earn it. The hoops they jump through and the accents they have the decipher are enough to make any man insane. So do I feel guilty for driving a grown man to tears by talking about my microwave for half an hour? The amount of times I've been cursed out in Hindi might make them think I'd want to. But I don't. There's nothing worth feeling guilty about. Every minute I waste with a scammer is a minute that person isn't using to prey on someone more vulnerable. That's how it runs. People have called me a hero before. I'm not sure I can use the same title on myself. I don't wear a cape. I don't even know if I've saved anyone. All I know is that I'm a sociopath, and I get bored very easily."

President Jarrett of the Tabernacle choir tells story of how he and his wife left their full-time mission in Germany to serve with the choir.
They were getting very comfortable and happy with their mission when they got a call. Sister Jarrett was on the phone with President Monson and he said he needed them to come back to Salt Lake City.
His wife said, "But we're so happy here. You can just ask President Uchtdorf how hard it is to leave Germany."
