For nearly two centuries, missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have found creative ways to share the message of Jesus Christ. From street corner preaching in bustling city streets to social media contacting, they have sought to reach people where they are.
Today, that tradition of innovation continues in a unique way—through the airwaves. According to a release from the Church’s Spanish-language Newsroom, in El Triunfo, Ecuador, missionaries are embracing local radio as their latest tool to share Christ’s restored gospel.
Each Saturday, missionaries of the Ecuador Guayaquil South Mission share spiritual thoughts via Radio Ecos de Naranjito, sharing messages of faith and hope.
On Saturday, May 10, the missionaries joined to share a special Mother’s Day message.
Teaching of the influence of women, Elder Giuliano Echevarria testified of his own mom and the counsel that she often gives him.
“I can think of many moments that I needed counsel from my mom. I needed her there with me,” he said.
Elder Echevarria explained that many times he needed her perspective when faced with decisions. He quoted President Russell M. Nelson testifying to the power of women.
Speaking to women in October 2018, President Nelson said, “Men can and often do communicate the love of Heavenly Father and the Savior to others.

You can reach out, comfort, teach and strengthen someone in his or her very moment of need.”
