Read The Book of Mormon. Don’t let this suggestion have that ring to it that deters your mind. Open your heart. Open your mind. 

“This is the fullness of Christ’s Gospel restored on Earth The Savior said, . . . ‘Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake; rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you.’ Now, dear brethren, if any men ever had reason to claim this promise, we are the men; for we know that the world not only hate us, but they speak all manner of evil of us falsely, for no other reason than that we have been endeavoring to teach the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” - Joseph Smith
