I learned a very valuable lesson that day.
Standing as a witness of God can be as simple as being “nice” to someone.
#stayrad
always stay true to myself no matter what - Which is were the hashtag “STAY RAD” came from .
Some would say... I am strange, different, unique, weird.It’s true and it’s RAD!!!
Some would say YOU are all different, unique, weird. YOU too are RAD!! Stay that way.
No matter what the outside world demands or wants from you, always stay true to yourself and your beliefs. #stayrad

President Monson
These are MY personal experiences. MY “behind the scenes”.
Each of you experience your own set of challenges. Your own “behind the scenes”.
We must be COURAGEOUS in our decisions every day We are expected to have courage to STAND for truth
Of course, we will face fear, experience ridicule, and meet opposition. Let us have the courage to ... stand for principle. Courage, not compromise, brings the smile of God’s approval. ... A moral coward is one who is afraid to do what he thinks is right because others will disapprove or laugh. Remember that all men have their fears, but those who face their fears with dignity have courage as well.
Conclusion:
“Bear your testimony every day of your life and when necessary, use words”.
