Our stake held a missionary-themed youth activity. The stake center was set up like a mini Missionary Training Center. We were trained, and then we went out to help the missionaries share the gospel with people in Chimaltenango.
Some people received us well, but others got upset, lied about their phone number and address, or hid. Sometimes we got discouraged, but then we met people who did want to hear and who were maybe even touched by our message. Even if I didn’t change their lives, my testimony grew.
When Jesus Christ was on the earth, people made fun of Him, but He cared more about what the Father thought of Him than what others thought of Him. If we know the gospel is true, we don’t need to hide it or feel ashamed. The Lord will always be there for us.
