These missionaries are sons and daughters that have in most cases, barely graduated from High School and never lived away from home. They are all experiencing life on their own for the first time. In a lot of cases, their testimonies are small. Yet they have chosen to serve God. Be kind to them and get to know them. They are each amazing people.
