Recap of worldwide missionary fireside: Missionaries to use Internet to find investigators, will give chapel tours

With the worldwide LDS missionary force surging due to the recent reduction in age for missionary service, church leaders on Sunday spoke via satellite to a global gathering of missionaries and local church officers and members, presenting innovative approaches to missionary work, including the use of the Internet by full-time missionaries in their work and the opening of local meetinghouses to guided tours. Emanating from the Marriott Center on the campus of Brigham Young University, the Worldwide Leadership Broadcast featured pre-recorded messages from President Thomas S. Monson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and President Boyd K. Packer of the church’s Quorum of the Twelve, as well as live and pre-recorded presentations from other members of that quorum.
