I'm reading talks by Elder Ballard this week. I just read an address he gave in conference in 2007 about how we can all be missionaries, but we need to find the fine balance between sharing what we believe and being too overbearing in trying to teach someone more about our church.
I love how he told us to read into the situation more and figure out what exactly those that are investigating the church through us really want. Some are merely curious about the church, and some are actually interested in learning more teachings. We need to pray for guidance to know how Heavenly Father wants us to go about teaching our fellow men.
We are taught every member a missionary, and we can be that. We also need to follow the rest of Christ's teachings and love those that reject the message. We can still be good examples. We need to be good examples and who knows? Maybe someday in the future those who once rejected the message will come back.
We are here to help build up the kingdom of God.
