While my cousins were here, Adam, Johnny, Josh and I went on splits with the missionaries. We were first dropped off at the missionaries' house to study the scriptures. After studying for an hour we left and started to walk. We walked on dirt roads filled with trash and goats. We walked for about 20 minutes until we got to our first house and it turns out that they were not there. So we walked about 10 minutes to our next house. We went to this community of connected houses and so we walked in. This house was a nicer house. It has good couches and a TV. We taught a 30 minute lesson on the gospel and then we went next door. There was a young lady and she was really new to the religion and so we just went over the introduction of the Book of Mormon. Then we met up with Adam and Josh and so we headed to get on tuk tuk.
Then we remembered Troy gave us four Book of Mormon's to give out. So before we left we had to give them out. So we stopped these two guy and we told them what we were doing and what our religion is about and they were not interested. So we had to try again. I saw another guy across the street looking at us. I walked to this guy and I told him about our religion and the Book of Mormon and he asked, "is this true?" I looked straight into his eyes and said "yes, this is 100 percent true" and I said "I want you to read this book and pray about it and if you fill something inside of you will know this book is true."
Then after that every one gave out there books and we started for the tuk tuk's. When we got there we waited for 10 min for Adam and Elder Kakarie. Then we met the rest of the family at a beach restaurant. It was a awesome day.
Porter I loved your report. You are having so many great experiences. I agree the Book of Mormon is the word of God and it was given to Joseph Smith by inspiration. You might like reading what the Church published recently on how the BoM was translated. You can find it at lds.org. Grandpa Pope
