(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.

French, Hausa at gas station. Fri, Sep 19, 2008.
09/19/2008. 1069. After leaving the grocery store, I felt inspired to stop at a gas station across the street. Cashier and another man were from a country in West Africa. They both spoke French, one spoke Hausa and one spoke Malinke. I offered the one a Hausa and English Gospel Fundamentals, and a Special Witnesses of Christ DVD that has a French audio track, and he gratefully accepted them. I offered the other man a French Book of Mormon, and a "Our Heavenly Father's Plan" DVD which also has a French audio track, and he gratefully accepted them. It was a very positive encounter. The latter man expresed interest in learning more about the church. I pointed out the nearest chapel on an info flyer in the book and DVD, and asked him to call the mission office number that was also on the flyer.
