There are a lot of people searching for some foundation and we as members need to help them find it where ever it may be, including the internet. I took Elder Ballards talk to heart and created a website to share my personal testimony and our beliefs from my perspective. I'd love to get some feedback on it. Additionally, http://mysite.verizon.net/resvvgeg/Index.htm I'll be working on an addition soon to include testimonies of other people. Send me yours and I may include it.

Gotta be careful what you say online, you never know who's going to be reading it. There have been people from church-owned IP's from the ldschurch.org domain browsing my blog for a while. (I use a free public tracking service.) But those could also have been from the public terminals in the SLC Family History Library. I saw a couple blog posts (at ldswebguy.com and splendidsun.com) about this talk before I read Julie's post at T&S where she pointed out that my blog was quoted. Yikes!

I hope many many more will become involved with this great work that is happening here online. There is a true spirit that is felt when doing this with our time. I know that the Lord is pleased with the efforts that are being made by so many to talk to people about the gospel online. I just want to thank those with the More Good Foundation, for everything you all are doing to rally this work, and to be a credible resource for members with a desire 'to do more good' through the internet and its amazing potential for success in sharing the Gospel. tDMg, Kathryn Skaggs gVr I absolutely loved reading this talk by Elder Ballard!
