Bearing of Testimony

We all benefit from sharing our testimony with others.  Share your testimony after choosing one or more of the following ideas:

• Join another family or group of singles for a virtual testimony meeting
• Call a family member or friend
• Post your testimony to a personal blog and share the link via text or one or more social media channels
• Post a brief testimony to Facebook
• Briefly share your testimony in a video that you post to YouTube and/or Facebook
• Write your testimony in your journal (or if you don't have one, start one with your testimony as the first entry)
• Write your testimony in a letter or email message to a family member of friend
• Find a favorite scripture and use it as the basis for a brief testimony that you share with family and/or friends
• Develop your own idea for sharing your testimony

"Oh, if I could teach you this one principle. A testimony is to be found in the bearing of it!" - Elder Boyd K. Packer from "The Candle of the Lord," New Mission Presidents Seminar, 25 June 1982
