Sharing the Gospel is the
responsibility and privilege of every member of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. I love doing it because it creates such a fantastic sense of
satisfaction and reminds me of how blessed I am for having the Gospel in my
life. However, it is not the easiest thing for everyone to do. There are times
when even I do not seize an opportunity to discus with someone the love that
Heavenly Father has for them (or some other aspect of the doctrine of Christ).
Luckily, the Lord wants to give all of us the blessings that come from being a
member missionary. He has given us social media, such as Facebook or blogs (or
a whole number of things, for that matter) to digitally share our testimonies
and messages of the LDS faith. When I first heard of this, I was very skeptical
because I believed that nothing could compare with the experience of a
face-to-face conversation. Or, at least, nothing could have as big of an impact
as a personal, physical discussion. But, from what I have observed and heard,
social media is making leaps and bounds with sharing the gospel across the
world. It is a great medium that offers so many tools and makes the
conversation more convenient and multi-faceted. I have even heard stories of
some people that received the missionary discussion through Skype, and then
were converted to the Gospel. Needless to say, Heavenly Father’s timing of
introducing the technology to do these sorts of things is impeccable. The world
received these things at the perfect time. Well, I suppose that I should use
this to my advantage and magnify my responsibility as a member missionary!
