(One drop at a time.) My journal entries about offering copies of the Book of Mormon, the Bible, and other LDS church books, mainly to immigrants in their native language, mainly in Indianapolis, Indiana. With 106 translations, the Book of Mormon (along with the Bible) is a good "Rosetta Stone" for learning English or other languages, in addition to being a missionary tool.

Moment #484. Persian(Farsi). Wed, Nov 9, 2005.
11/09/2005. After Institute in the kitchen. One of the members of the YSA branch was there and mentioned that her non-member parents were from Iran. I asked if they had a Book of Mormon in Persian (Farsi). She said no. I offered her a Persian Book of Mormon if she'd give it to them, and she agreed. I retrieved it, and a Persian copy of the Joseph Smith Testimony pamphlet from my car, and presented them to her. She was very glad to see the material. She expressed a little fear about giving the material to them, but was enthusiastic about it. She didn't know the church had the Book of Mormon in Persian.
