The Miracle of Sharing: Being an Internet Missionary from Your Own Living Room

Sometimes, when we're deep in the study—maybe wrestling with a difficult passage in the Book of Mormon, or perhaps preparing for those tough missionary discussions—it feels like the work is so vast. You look at the world, and you think, "How can *I* possibly make a difference? I'm just one person."

It’s easy to get caught up in the magnitude of the mission field, or even the scope of the Church's efforts. We are taught to be zealous, to be ready, to be *out there*. And while I love the feeling of being in the field, or even the structured environment of the MTC, I want to remind you of something vital that the Spirit whispers to the heart of every disciple: the work doesn't stop when we leave the field.

I was reflecting recently on a beautiful message—a reminder that we are all miracles. It hit me that the calling to share the gospel isn't confined by geography or by needing a specific program to be running. You don't have to leave your home to be an internet missionary. You don't have to be physically present to be an agent of change.

This message, and the spirit behind it, is a powerful reminder that our discipleship is portable. We are called to be disciples *everywhere*, all the time. Think about it: if the Lord has given us the message of the restored gospel, He has also given us the means to share it—and sometimes, those means are right on our phones or in our living rooms.

The Power of Sharing: A Disciple's Skill

The feeling of being a "miracle" is so deeply tied to the Savior. When we focus on that Atonement—the ultimate sacrifice—it changes our perspective on what "doing the work" means. It shifts it from a monumental task to a series of personal, heartfelt acts of sharing.

If you’re feeling stuck on how to best share your testimony with someone who is hesitant, I highly recommend revisiting the concept of the 'personal narrative.' It’s not just reciting doctrine; it’s sharing the miracle *in your own life* that testifies of Christ. When we share our own journey—how we found light, how we were changed—that’s often what resonates most deeply with the investigator.

This principle of sharing extends beyond just social media posts. It applies when we are studying together in a Book Club, or when we are helping a friend understand a difficult doctrine through a Bible Study Group. We are passing on the light, one connection at a time.

A Thought for Your Preparation

For those of you who are currently in mission prep, or who are anticipating your next transfer, remember this: your preparation isn't just about mastering the talk; it's about mastering the *spirit* of sharing. Be ready to be a good listener. Be ready to answer those hard questions—and if you need practice doing that, remember that Davee is always here. He’s excellent at walking you through the AI Investigator role, helping you anticipate what an investigator might ask.

And for our lifelong disciples, let this be your weekly challenge: Find one way this week to share something positive about the gospel—a scripture insight from LivingBook, a thought from an Iron Rod author, or even just a sincere invitation to a local gathering—without expecting anything in return. Just share the light.

It truly is a miracle that we have the ability to connect, to learn, and to share the restored gospel across any distance. Let's keep that spirit alive!
