I feel that it can safely be said that using language is indeed miraculous. I truly believe that if language did not exist and someone proposed it, it would be dismissed as an impossibility

​It was wonderful to be together for All Hands this week and hear about two of the many successes that have happened over the last year.  I am grateful to Bill, Mike, and Chadwick for sharing those examples of cross-departmental coordination, innovative work, and the significant value being created for the Church. The work you are doing each day truly helps accelerate the work of the Lord.
 
Those stories also highlighted the evolution of our 3x goal, from a specific measure of value at a future time to a way of thinking and behaving. The teams looked at the value the Lord needed and they asked themselves how they could work, design, and implement in a way that:

• was forward-looking,
• positioned technology to be useful, even amid future change,
• was as effective and efficient with Church resources as it could be while meeting the need, and
• provided maximum value to the overall Church.

 
Each of the decisions the teams made required them to look at measures, outcomes, and value that they could impact now and into the future. They were successful because everyone had this common lens and because they sought the Savior’s influence and expected that He would guide them in His work. That is the embodiment of 3x.
 
This is the Lord’s work and you are a key part of it. I am grateful for all that you do and how you do it. Have a wonderful weekend.
