In the last article we learned how to adopt an LDS website to help share the gospel online. Today, we’ll learn how to start planning the site while you wait for it to be set up for you by More Good Foundation.
Sharing the Gospel Online
Filed under: Being a Missionary Online, How to Be a Member Missionary
Ever since Elder Russell M. Ballard asked members of the church to begin sharing the gospel online, people have been searching for ways to do this. There are some who have good writing skills and plenty to say, but just don’t want the pressure or expense of their own website. More Good Foundation has the solution for these people. They’re offering to allow people to adopt one of their domain names for use in sharing the gospel. A domain name is the “address” of a website. For instance, if you want to go to the church’s official website, you type in www.lds.org. That is their domain name. Your site’s domain name will depend on the topic of your site. Read more

Today, I’m delighted to sit down with author, Liz Adair and discuss her thoughts on writing and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Chat online with a real missionary!
I recently heard about a fun feature on the Church’s web site www.mormon.org They have an area where you can chat live online with a real missionary. I thought I’d check it out, so I clicked on the link and instantly received a greeting from a guy named Josiah. He was very polite and friendly and helped answer some questions I had about submitting referrals online. The conversation occurred in a pop-up window and it was really cool to know someone from the Church office building was sitting there typing just to little ‘ole me!
Searching for Truth
Our conversion story today comes from Maria Moreno from Santa Ana, California. Her daughter is currently serving in the Italy, Milan mission! Here are her words:
Conversion Story of Lindal Champion
I just love hearing other people’s conversion stories. Here is a sweet one that was written shortly before President Hinckley’s death. It was shared with me by Linda Champion:
Being A Cyber Missionary
Élder M. Russell Ballard, un apóstol de vida, dio el discurso de graduación en la Universidad Brigham Young-Hawaii en diciembre de 2007, donde se maravilló de esta nueva generación y toda la tecnología que tiene para ofrecer. Recordó a los estudiantes que cuando el Presidente Hinckley fue el encargado de la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días “, conocida como los mormones, Departamento de Asuntos Públicos que constaba de una sola persona – a sí mismo! Estamos seguros de haber recorrido un largo camino desde entonces!
Preparing Missionaries in Cyberspace
As soon as my son received his mission call in December I went online and joined every “Missionary Moms” Yahoo group I could find. I also registered both of us on his mission’s web site. I can’t tell you how helpful it has been to be able to chat with other mothers who are preparing their sons and daughters to serve full-time missions or whose children are currently out in the field. I love it and thank Heavenly Father every day for the Internet! Just do a Yahoo search under “Groups” and you’re sure to find several sites that address general missionary topics, as well as specific missions around the world.
Chase!
If you attended Seminary or have a child who has, then the simple command to “Chase!” probably conjures up all kinds of fun memories. Raising the bar for missionaries also means raising it for families. LDS families should be the greatest scriptorians! Knowing where to find specific verses is certainly a start.
Hugging Across the Aisle
The moment I met Congressman Tom Lantos I immediately adored him. It was my first day as an intern in his Washington DC office and the entire staff was whirling around the reception desk in an effort to get a bunch of letters signed, stamped and delivered in less than an hour. Everyone dropped what they were doing to pitch in, including the boss. My first impression was that this great man was a real team player who was willing to do whatever it took to get the task done, even if it meant kneeling on the floor with the lowly intern to lick envelopes and stamps.
