This passage brings me hope. As anyone who has been on a mission will tell you (and I never served a mission) you get rejected far more often than you have success. Even if you are not a formal missionary but you post words of the prophets and words from the Book of Mormon-99% of the time the people "liking" the posts are already LDS. While it's not fair to think that everyone who is not a member has a hard heart, this passage reminds us to keep laboring diligently in the face of difficult odds.
Eventually, we will "conquer the enemy of all righteousness", and no, that enemy is not an individual person, no matter how hard their heart is. One day all of difficult labor here will seem like "one night in an inconvenient motel" (to quote a famous Catholic saint, not my words).
