You probably have noticed that in your Dashboard there is a new menu called Testimonials. In that menu find and click on Add New. Than in the field "Enter tittle here" put the title of the massage you received from the person who is giving you his testimonial. Than copy and paste the testimonial text into the visual editor field. In the Testimonial Data section below, you can put the Author name, Job Title of that person, his location, email address, company name, and URL to his website.

Also if you want to include a picture of that person you can do that by going to the section Featured Image to the right, and clicking on the "Set featured image" link, which will sent you to your media library. From there you can upload that persons picture to your Media library or select the image if you already have it uploaded. Then click on Set featured image, and click on the Publish button.
