Hi, thanks for the blog-I’m following you on twitter now too. Do you know where I can find free LDS downloads for Kindle? (Scriptures, other material?) I heard it was free via the church but I can’t find it? Thanks!
Hello,
Do you send out work to freelancers? I am a professional graphic designer & illustrator (for 30 years) who would love to freelance for our church publications. I live in Indiana, US.
Please view my website (under construction but almost complete).
Hoping … praying for the opportunity.
Regards,
Sister Wendy Boomhower

My calling is ward administrator. I am trying to add a variety of information and promote the website so more members will want to “come and see.” I just noticed your excellent site with so much useful information. Isn’t Church technology great?
Would you tell me if the following list of topics would be appropriate to put on the ward website? I could go to my bishop first, but he always says, “I’ll think about it” which means I won’t get any further conversation. lol
Monthly Visiting Teaching message
Monthly Primary themes with theme, scripture and song
Washington D.C. TTemple schedule
Ward e-newsletter (save money: no paper or postage cost) Example:
1 – Select youth from YM and YW to be reporters. They can report on church member participation in activities like performance in a school play, athletic event or award, Of course, this would be subject to editing and approval.
2 = Primary birthdays and news items from secretary.
3 – Publicize the RS upcoming big events, Women’s Conference, in May that is open to the public.
4 – Choir rehearsal times and news
My ideal scene would be to have a presentation at the bishop’s correlation meeting, Those leaders could then relay the ideas to their staff . Handout a copy of the
News and Information page Show the lesson topics, and the temple schedule.
At this time, get a plug in for leaders to send in their calendar items for two or three months. Remind them to report cancellations. Calendar items may come from membership if the item or events like Eagle Scout, service projects in area, missionary stories, etc., are Church related.
Now hear this: After looking over all the web sites you listed, would these links be
appropriate to show: Scriptures, Gospel Library, LDS.net., and everal others? .
Thank you for your dedicated service. I appreciate all you do.
Sincerely, Jane Dumont

Larry,
I noticed that you did a blog on another online gaming site and I wanted to bring my site to your attention. I just got it up 2 weeks ago. http://scriptures4kids.com . I am not ready to have the site blogged about yet. I need to transfer the site to a better server in case the blog drives up traffic. However, I was wondering if you might be interested in mentioning my site in the future.
Since I got the site up two weeks ago I have had over 1000 visitors in 28 countries. It has been very exciting to see it grow so fast. I have not done any marketing other then telling family and friends. However, the news spread fast. Thus, the need for a more robust server. I can barely handle what I currently have.
Thank you for your consideration. My husband and I have been working on this site for 5 years and we are very excited to finally have it on the public web. I am hopeful that we can discuss this further if you are interested.
Sincerely,
Angela Roberts
