(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 #570. French / Wolof outside bank. Fri, May 5, 2006.
05/05/2006. I was leaving the ATM at the bank heading back to the parking lot. There was an African-looking man walking from the parking lot towards the bank. I wasn't quite quick enough and we passed each other, so I turned and said "excusez-moi". He turned around, and I asked if he spoke French. He was from Senegal and spoke French and Wolof. He agreed to see the books I had in French and Wolof. We went back to my car and I gave him French and English copies of the Book of Mormon, and Wolof and English copies of Gospel Fundamentals. He was a young adult going to a local college. He helped me practice a some French and a little Wolof.
