Trying to convince a Latter Day Saint of their error is about as profitable as doing the same with a Jehovah's Witness. 

I have had the honor of being the unlikely leader of revivals with all the cults from time to time, so keep revivals of cultists to Jesus in your prayers.    I do not know how they got my email address,  but some are emailing me concerning thread.   They are surprised that one can read NWT and KJV in parallel and not come to their conclusions.    I think the background I gained in missionary translation has them puzzled.    There has been many times when I learn where the Mormon Missionaries are living, that I went to their door and talked with them as group.   The keys to such revivals,  is people praying,  being filled with the Holy Spirit daily and Study  truth of scripture and studying how others think about their doctrines.

The majority of JW's and Mormons are out selling their cult.

The majority of born again believers , (pre virus mania) are at work or at home changing batteries in their Remote.

So, if Heaven was gained by devotion to trying to gain converts, Christianity would be an eternal fail in '2020,  and JW's and Mormons would own Heaven as of today..

Aren't you Glad that the only Way to heaven was purchased for you by the Blood of God?   John 14:6

All in All, there is nothing to be compared to the "free Gift of Salvation".

 

The numbers for LDS Missionaries who got the virus is sketchy at best.   But, 

"The returning home of nonnative missionaries to home countries for self-isolation and either reassignment or release due to adjusted tenure lengths or health concerns is affecting about 50% of the Church’s missionaries, Weidman said." https://www.thechurchnews.com/global/2020-03-26/coronavirus-covid-19-impact-missionary-work-global-178402

Basically, LDS are returning home to isolate with their families.    Those with less than six months left on their missions are being released from missionary duty.  Those who are not released are doing training online. 

That is at least the LDS picture.

native missionaries are isolating in their native countries with family.

"In yet another letter sent to bodies of elders dated March 13 2020, the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses directed that the door-to-door and public preaching work was to be suspended immediately."

So,  even those who are human like myself among LDS and JWs are isolating and good for them using common sense.

Do Not Panic. While it is good to be alert to epidemics and to take reasonable precautions, the response should be a measured approach based on facts, not on fear.—Proverbs 14:15; Isaiah 30:15.

Follow Government Recommendations and Directives. Local authorities often implement precautions or restrictions for public health. It is good to keep informed and comply with the government’s directives.—Romans 13:1.

Promote Good Hygiene. It is essential to wash your hands regularly with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. We should also keep frequently touched surfaces clean in our home and at our Kingdom Hall. Additionally, medical experts discourage shaking hands in such situations, as this could continue the spread of disease. Regarding the coronavirus, the World Health Organization has provided additional advice for the public.

Show Love to Others. While we all know the importance of attending Christian meetings and participating in the public ministry, if you are sick, it is best to stay home to avoid infecting others. This shows brotherly love and protects our brothers and sisters and our non-Witness neighbors.—Matthew 22:39.

Follow Temporary Adjustments to Congregation Arrangements. In areas where there is an outbreak of disease, it may be necessary for the branch office to temporarily cancel congregation meetings, assemblies, and other theocratic events. This has been the case in some areas where the COVID-19 virus has hit the hardest, such as in certain regions of Italy, Japan, and South Korea. Based on local circumstances, the elders may be able to provide access to recorded meetings, which publishers can watch from home. Publishers may be able to participate in the ministry through phone calls, text messages, e-mails, or letters."  https://www.jw.org/en/news/jw/region/global/jw-coronavirus-update-and-response/

Praise the Lord, brother. That's great!

Ah, but the LDS in particular are a very strong and secretive cult. They apparently have their ways.
