(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.

Connecting missionary dots. Sun, Jan 29, 2006.
01/29/2006. Last Sunday I gave an Indonesian Book of Mormon to the set of elders teaching a man from Indonesia. Later in the week I remembered that two of the members of our ward are from Malaysia and speak Malaysian, which is almost the same as Indonesian, just a different accent. They are ethnic Chinese and Mandarin is their main language, Malaysian their second, and English their third or fourth. So before sacrament meeting, I pointed them out to the missionaries and told them that the brothers speak Indonesian. And I also told the two brothers which set of elders had an Indonesian investigator. Hopefully, they'll get together.
