Having been raised, you can hopefully (if your lodge is not very large) look forward to progressing through offices in your craft lodge in the hope of one day becoming WM. I found that was enough to interest me for a few years, and have actually never felt the need to enter side-orders, but...

IMHO it’s just how people use social meeja these days AFAIK. :) The interweb is just not the same as it was in the old days. Besides, it gives us a chance to hone our Google skills. Daily advancement!

Bon soir!

He means contact Luis Jimenez Meza, the Grand Secretary who signed your paper, or the people who work for him. They will be able to tell you which countries have lodges you can meet with and how to contact them.

Welcome! Just over halfway to Kent here :)
