Brother Travis Sheffield June 2015 The LDS ripple effect Just as the waves expand in water, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can expand their influence over the web by sharing, participating and being examples of the truths of the gospel. Do you find difficult to preach the gospel? There are many opportunities we have now a days to participate preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and sometimes they are even easier than knocking at out neighbors door or wrapping a Book of Mormon and sent it by mail. In the past, printing was one of the only media someone may use to spread news or make information to get to people around the world, in our days we have crossed the barriers of distance and time using the internet and any device that can access to it. We must try to post even short quotes from the apostles or links to Church videos on our social media profiles, and by doing this, people will start asking about those, then we can join the conversation. After start, join the conversation Join the conversation means we will have the opportunity to answer questions once people start commenting on our post, and we have to try to do this by the most simple way we can and being respectful of others beliefs, there is no need to be offensive or aggressive even though we dont receive the same treatment. Remember that even if we dont know the answers to all the questions we can always share our testimony and ask for divine help to be examples of patience and respect. Next time you sign in your Twitter or Facebook account think for a minute if all your contacts know that you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, if they dont post this link: http://www.mormon.org/faq and wait for two minutes, then join the conversation, and remember: The words you type will tell more than the simple words of you do it respectfully and following the promptings of the Spirit.
