USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO SHARE“At all times of the day across the entire world, the Church and its teachings are being discussed on the Internet, on blogs and social networks, by people who have never written for a newspaper or a magazine.
“We encourage people, young and old, to use the Internet and the social media to reach out and share their religious beliefs.”
Elder L. Tom PerryOctober 2011 General Conference

NEW WAYS TO SHARE“Now in this day of the Internet, there are new and exciting ways you can do missionary work. You can invite friends and neighbors to visit the new mormon.org Web site. If you have blogs and online social networks, you could link your sites to mormon.org. And there you can create your own personal profile. Each profile includes an expression of belief, an experience, and a testimony.”
Elder Russell M. NelsonOctober 2010 General Conference
