With the April 2013 General Conference only days away LDS.org created some cool and fun social media tools to help you invite others to come listen to living prophets speak -- and they've updated them for you! You can choose to use the video invitation, an awesome widget, various banners and/or blog buttons in deciding the best way for you to share the gospel online. So, don't be shy!

Let's start with this video invitation, my personal favorite --  that you can use to invite others to view the April 2013 General Conference to experience first-hand what it's like to hear modern-day prophets. As with all of these tools you can decide how and where you will share your favorite ones, online. (I've already posted it to my Facebook wall)

You can either use the embedding code to post this video directly on your own blog, or you can share the video link directly on your favorite social network, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc... You could also share this video via email with friends and family.

Next, you might have noticed the cool 2013 General Conference widget on my right-hand sidebar. (coming) You can get one, too!  This widget includes the above video, as wells as great information pertaining to General Conference, what it is, and the importance of living prophets.  It's pretty darn awesome! If you've got a blog, you definitely want to add the 2013 General Conference widget.

Last but not least is a cool selection of beautiful designed blog buttons and banners, like the ones posted below -- that when clicked will take you directly to Mormon.org.

"In order for the messages of general conference to change our lives, we need to be willing to follow the counsel we hear. The Lord explained in a revelation to the Prophet Joseph Smith “that when ye are assembled together ye shall instruct and edify each other, that ye may know … how to act upon the points of my law and commandment.” But knowing “how to act” isn’t enough. The Lord in the next verse said, “Ye shall bind yourselves to act in all holiness before me.” This willingness to take action on what we have learned opens the doors for marvelous blessings."Paul V. Johnson
