"Mormon.org is a missionary site intended to provide information about our faith. By creating a profile, you can share your feelings about your faith, shed light on who we are as a people and demystify our most commonly misunderstood beliefs. Mormon.org is not a social media site."
Mormon.org is a wonderful, easy, non-threatening way to share the gospel. So many of us, and our young people in general, spend a great deal of time online. Whether it's email, blogging or Facebook, many of us have phones that are connected to the internet, and we already have an online presence.
Creating a profile at mormon.org is very easy. You can have it as private or as public as you would like. The website states:
"A profile is your opportunity to share your beliefs and experiences in the gospel with those who are not of our faith. With the help of our profile creation wizard, we will walk you through the steps of creating your own page, uploading your photo, writing about yourself, and answering questions about the gospel that will help others better understand our beliefs."
Many of you will have seen videos and profiles from mormon.org. There are ads on television, billboards in Times Square in New York City, links on youtube. It is an effective way of sharing our beliefs with people and showing them that we are really, truly ordinary people just like they are.
Along with your profile, you have an opportunity to answer gospel questions and share your testimony.
President Smith encouraged each of us to create our own profiles. Then, he suggested that we link to those profiles from our blogs, from Facebook or even post a signature in our emails that invites people to view our profile on mormon.org.
