By now, you have likely heard about the “Worldwide Fast April 10” Facebook group that has inspired hundreds of thousands to accept President Russell M. Nelson’s invitation to fast on Good Friday. But did you know the group was started by a Latter-day Saint missionary?
Elder Jaden Taylor, a 20-year-old serving in California, and his companion were looking for ways to share the gospel despite being quarantined in their apartment when Taylor had the idea to start the Facebook group. Taylor did not anticipate the group’s growth but he told Deseret News, he thinks it is “absolutely fantastic.”
