Called to TYPE.

"You have a great opportunity to be a powerful force for good in the Church and in the world. There is truth in the old adage that " the pen is mightier than the sword." In many cases it is with words that you will accomplish the great things that you set out to do. And it's principally about ways to share those words that I want to talk to you."

In life sometimes the simplest things can make the most profound difference. I feel like a lot of times people(including myself) feel inadequate and intimidated to share the gospel. Everyone is unique and sometimes there are people that you can reach that no one else can. A lot of people might feel uncomfortable speaking to others in person about the gospel but they feel totally fine expressing their beliefs online. It is our duty and privilege to share the gospel with as many people as possible and in as many ways as possible.

"The Resoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ has no doubt had a powerful impact on your life. It has, in part shaped who you are and what your future will be. Do not be afraid to share with others your experiences as a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. We all have interesting stories that have influenced our identity. Sharing those stories is a nonthreatening way to talk to others. Telling those stories can help demystify the Church. You could help overcome misperceptions through your own sphere of influence, which ought to include the Internet."

Do you need to teach the discussions  to share the gospel? No. We are so blessed in these latter days with endless gospel spreading tools right at our fingertips. There are so many different things you can do that you can find something that caters specifically to your needs and wants. If you can make blog where you share your experiences with the gospel of Jesus Christ. You can write and publish music online. You can reach out to non-member or inactive friends of yours. Spreading the gospel is a personalized journey. We need to take advantage of the blessings of modern technology and use it to further the work of God on the earth.  * quotes by M. Russell Ballard
