222. Here are some ideas on how to help a missionary who is discouraged:
**** Read about the hardships and successes of other missionaries in the scriptures.
**** Pray for help
**** Love everyone and lose yourself in the work.
333. Barnabas was Paul's companion who also was a Levite. His story was a lot like Amulek in that they both were willing to give everything up for the gospel.
Tt The Lord has us go out in two's because it is better to have more than one witness to testify of truth. That and they can feed off each other and help each other.
4. 4. After Paul and Barnabas had healed a cripple, people started to call them gods and brought them animal sacrifices. They handled it very well by just telling the people that the praise should be aimed toward God and that he is the one to worship and thank.
5. 5. It was interesting to me that these two experiences happened to Paul so close together in the scriptures. God obviously was sending him trials to test his faith and so that God could bless him even more. Paul was first treated like a god, and then he was stoned and left for dead. God has an amazing way of teaching us lessons. Paul was strong enough to take it.
