Ewe at investigator's. Wed, Apr 15, 2009.
04/15/2009. 1133. I was accompanying our ward's missionaries as they were teaching a family from Africa. A friend of the family stopped by for a moment, and during a short conversation he said he knew someone who was a member. I asked if the member had given him anything from the church, and he said no. I offered him a pamphlet in Ewe (his language) that described a little how the church was started (the Joseph Smith Testimony pamphlet), and he agreed to receive it.
On his way out, I accompanied him and retrieved a copy from my car and presented it to him before he left, and he politely accepted it.

I think it's amazing how many languages you have ready for any occasion. That's impressive! I've never even heard of that language. So how do you know which languages to have handy with you?
The list of languages to keep in the car just grew over time. I knew there were Africans in town, so I put all the African languages in the car, Books of Mormon, then Gospel Fundamentals, and JST pamphlets. Then languages of India. Then I researched on the web to see what associations were in town, and added those, such as Latvian and Lithuanian. Then I met some Pacific Islanders, and added some of those languages. And whenever I met someone who spoke a language I didn't have, I added that language. It just grew.
Wow! So how long have you been doing this? also, what have been the results of the people who accept the Books?
Since June 2004. Result? Who knows?
Wow. That is a pretty amazing story. Since you deal with so many languages, this great site might help you find some that you're not familiar with (this is just the link to the Ewe page to get you started): Eʋegbe wiki browser
