Yoruba declined at parking lot. Fri, Apr 3, 2009.

04/03/2009. 1132. In the parking lot at the grocery store there were two African men speaking a foreign language. When they had a break in the conversation, I asked what they were speaking. Of the two, one was willing to speak to me, and said it was Yoruba. But he declined to receive a copy of the Yoruba Book of Mormon. Then after I was done at the bakery across the street, they were still there, so I showed the man the Yoruba Book of Mormon, just so he could see it. He did reach out to take it, and then he flipped through it real quick, but handed it back.

Yoruba declined at Post Office. Thu, May 31, 2007.

05/31/2007. 828. I was at a Post Office and met up with a man from Nigeria on the way out. It was a fortuitous meeting, as I did nothing to create the encounter. I struck up a conversation by asking where he was from, and what languages he spoke, then offered him a Yoruba language Sunday school manual from the church. His next question was what church. When I said the name of the church, he indicated both verbally and with his body English that he was not interested. I didn't have the presence of mind to offer him a small sized pass-along card that I had in my wallet.
