After two weeks, nearly 300,000 had viewed the video.
“Our hope would be that the Church members would first be inspired by these messages,”

Letter from the Stake President:
Brethren,
It has come to our attention that our decline in converts and the increase of name removal requests is largely due to the widespread use of the internet. Therefore, please instruct your ward members of the two (2) following policy changes:
1) Members who wish to remain in good standing should only use Church approved sites. Tracking cookies provided on church owned sites will be used as evididence in an ecclesiastical court if the computer has been accessing sites containing criticism or unofficial documentation relating to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
2) The increase in video technologies can be a useful tool to combat the vast, and unflattering, information available online. Therefore, please instruct ward members to “click” repeatedly on videos that show the Church in a positive light, thereby making them more prominent and non-members more willing to take the Missionary discussions.
Your cooperation in this matter is mandatory.
Sincerely,
Stake President XXXXXXXXXXXX X XXXXXXX
North XXXXX Stake
