Flooding the Earth with the Book of Mormon: Moment #622. Korean DVD at store. Fri, Jun 23, 2006.

Flooding the Earth with the Book of Mormon

(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.

My goals in keeping this blog/journal are: to encourage others to offer people copies of the Book of Mormon and the Bible, to illustrate the incredible number of recent immigrants who are eager for bilingual material, to illustrate the ease of encountering them and offering them material, and to make known the wonderful deeds of the Lord (Ps 105:1, Isa 12:4) in arranging many of these encounters. I realize that the concept of offering foreign language books to strangers is just plain weird to many people, so here are some hints if you are intrigued by this and wish to try it. Respectful comments and constructive criticism are invited.

The goal of the book placement effort is to provide, in a friendly non-threatening way, gospel material to someone who is willing to receive it in their native language and English.

To the recipients of these books who read this: I thank you again for allowing me to be of service to you. I encourage you to read the material, and pray to God that He confirm the truth of it to you. The Bible and the Book of Mormon are both the Word of God. Living according to their teachings brings happiness.

Moment #622. Korean DVD at store. Fri, Jun 23, 2006.

06/23/2006. I drove down a street that has several Asian stores. I felt a slight tug to a shopping center that has a Korean-owned beauty-supply and wig place. I needed a sweat-band for working out, to keep the sweat off my face, so I stopped in and got some. I carried in a "Finding Happiness" multi-lingual DVD that includes audio/video for Chinese (both Mandarin and Cantonese), Korean, and Japanese.

I placed the DVD case on the counter as I reached for my wallet to pay, and the Korean lady cashier noticed it and asked about it. She was enthusiastic about it before I said anything, so I offered it to her, and she gratefully acccepted it.

The other lady cashier, who is Mongolian, came over to see what the excitement was about, but she didn't speak any of the languages on the DVD. However, we do have a Book of Mormon in Mongolian, and I'll have to go back and offer that.
