Tagalog New Testaments to RMs at church. Sun, Jun 3, 2007.

06/03/2007. Journal Entry. There are a bunch of 20-something members who have moved into the ward for the summer for their door-to-door sales jobs. Most are married, but some are single. Two of them had served their mission in the Philippines, so I've been giving them material in Tagalog and other Filipino languages. Today I gave them each two copies of a paperback Tagalog New Testament, from International Bible Society.

Liahonas to RM at church. Sun, May 20, 2007.

05/20/2007. Journal entry. While waiting in the foyer after church, I met an RM, just four months off his mission, who served a Cambodian-speaking mission in Boston.

He was happy when I told him of the several Cambodians I've met in town, so I gave him the locations where I've met a Cambodian waitress, a Cambodian shop owner, and a Cambodian employee of a grocery store. He had heard of the Cambodian waitress, and been trying to look up the restaurant in order to eat there, and that was where I ate last week.

I'm out of Cambodian Liahonas, but I gave him two issues of the Liahona in the language spoken by the owners of that restaurant, and an English edition that corresponds to one of the others.

English, Tagalog, Bikolano, Ilokano to RM's at church. Sun, May 20, 2007.

05/20/2007. Journal Entry. A bunch of 20-something members have moved to town for summer sales jobs, and are attending our ward. Two of them are RM's who served in the Philipines. One's mission language was Tagalog, and the other Bikolano. Last week I gave them the names/addresses of a couple of Filipino owned stores/markets in town, and said I'd get them some Filipino Books of Mormon to give out if/when they encounter any Filipinos.

Today, I gave the one a Bikolano, a Tagalog, and two English Books of Mormon, and an English KJV Bible. I gave the other a Tagalog, and two English Books of Mormon, and an English KJV Bible. The latter said he met someone in the past week who spoke Ilokano. I asked if he could find them again when he's back in that neighborhood. He said yes, so I went out to the car and retrieved an Ilokano Book of Mormon along with another English copy from the car and gave them to him.
