Here is a recap for those of you who were unable to watch or would like a reminder of this spiritual event. The broadcast itself was done very beautifully. The choir was really big and they sang wonderfully. The Church even showed off what their technology can now do. Doing live phone conferences to Washington DC; Lima, Peru; and Hawaii. They also helped us to define what our Quorum of the 70 is around for. They are here to help preach the gospel and to be a witness unto the Gentiles. We are then to look at our area 70 for guidance in what we should be doing for Missionary work.
Along these lines, Missionary work has moved forward in the fact that Missonaires can now use e-mail, Facebook, and mormon.org to contact people. They have even started to open up meeting houses, so then people can take a look inside of our churches. And this brings us to the main point of this meeting, that we as members all need to be ward missionaries.
What this means is that we should be willing to talk to people about our religion. I don't mean that we should go forth and try to convert someone on our own. I'm saying that if there is someone in your life that seems interested and asks you a lot of questions about religion then say, "Hey, I have these two friends that are totally willing to answer any questions that you might have about my religion. Would you like to meet with them?" Sounds simple enough but I know that you will need to have some courage, but if we pray for the strength and courage then we can all meet someone that will be willing to be spiritually uplifted. I believe that this was the main message that the First Presidency was trying to tell us, and so we should honor this request by trying our hardest to be Ward Missionaires. Let's put our best foot forward and strive to do our best. I know that we can do it.
