What if you had something you really liked (like the gospel) that was a great blessing in your life. Wouldn't that be really stingy of you to not share it with your neighbor?
We talked about how missionary work has been an essential part of the gospel since the days of Adam, who first taught the gospel to his children and then as they became more numerous, missionary work was necessary. After the Savior established His church, missionary work was necessary to take the gospel first to the Jews and then, after His death, to the Gentiles. When the gospel was restored through Joseph Smith, one of the first things he did, under the direction of Jesus Christ, was to send out missionaries to many parts of the world.
We have been told in the scriptures that the gospel must be taken to all of Father's children in all parts of the world before He comes again. As we see the increased uses of technology in the world and in the Church, we can see how all people, everywhere, are being prepared to receive the gospel. We talked about how we can personally take part in that preparation by sharing our testimonies and personal experiences in the gospel with our friends and also people we don't know via the social media, Mormon Messages, the Church's web sites, etc.
But in the end, the prophets have told us that people list as the number one reason they become interested in the Church is that they have a personal relationship with someone who is a member living their religion. We have something many people in the world are looking for. If they are kept from the truth only because they know not where to find it, then it is our responsibility to show them where it is.
