Our young members’
fascination and expertise with social media gives them unique opportunities to
reach out to interest others in the gospel. Describing the Savior’s appearance
to the Nephites, Mormon writes, “He did teach and minister unto the children …
, and he did loose their tongues … that they could utter.” Today I suppose we
would say loose their ‘thumbs’ that they could utter. Go to it, youth! Sharing
the gospel is not a burden but a joy. What we call ‘member missionary work’ is
not a program but an attitude of love and outreach to help those around us. It
is also an opportunity to witness how we feel about the restored gospel of our
Savior. As Elder Ballard has taught, ‘A most significant evidence of our
conversion and of how we feel about the gospel in our own lives is our
willingness to share it with others.’” – Elder Dallin H. Oaks
