My friend’s son is serving a mission in Tennessee, and with Covid restrictions, he does a lot of phone calls and video calls. It is working! The missionaries are able to contact more people in a day via phone than the traditional method of knocking on doors. Therefore, they are reaching and inviting more people to learn of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
