I think it is essential that we keep a balance between communicating with people and communicating with the Lord. The things we learn through revelation from God are critical in sustaining our own spirituality and thereby enabling us to share the gospel with others. Whether that be via Twitter, a blog, or just a neighborly conversation, we have a lot to share once we have acquired it for ourselves. I also really liked Elder Nelson’s talk.

Prayer is a great form of communication with God, but in spite of the fact that missionaries usually prepare themselves for their service through fervent prayer and fasting, and that prayer may open doors, missionaries still need to communicate directly with the people, if they want to make an effect. Angelic visitations as a consequence of prayers, such in the case of Alma praying for his son Alma the Younger, usually only come after the missionaries, or the parents, have done all they could to communicate with the people they were trying to reach. So, we still need to communicate with people! The Daily Herald’s article used a nice way of closing, but it may leave us with a false impression about using the Internet to spread the Gospel.
