Some other obstacles I’ve observed is a tendency for people to not answer their doors unless they know exactly who is on the other side and not talking to strangers ever. A pre-occupation with electronics also makes it difficult for missionaries to strike up a conversation at the park, on the bus etc. because people are already on the phone or listening to music.

These obstacles make online missionary work even more essential. People turn to the Internet for nearly all of their information. A large amount of the google searches on the word “mormon” result in anti-mormon and uninformed information about the Church and its doctrine. The images provided by google images are just as misleading!

We, as members, have the opportunity to share how the Gospel of Jesus Christ is affecting our lives in profound ways.
There is a need for members to flood the Internet with accurate and positive information about what it means to be LDS.

Thanks to the More Good Foundation for providing such a place!
