Another day on the streets

Piccadilly Gardens in downtown Manchester where we talk with strangers and play with pidgeons. One very funny elder told of holding a pidgeon in one hand while he taught. When he finished, his hand --- well, let's just say he ran to find some soap and water! But it was worth it.....another B of M placed.

This is the way it is done. Two by two, boldly sharing their message. It is amazing to watch. They walk up to strangers and open their mouths and people listen. These sisters gave out 12 Books of Mormon in 2 hours and loved every minute of it.



We only had 15 missionaries with us - 8 companionships and they came back with 38 referrals that were given to the full time missionaries. They never cease to amaze me.

When we return to the MTC they report on their experiences. Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry but we are always filled with their amazing faith and fearless efforts.

"One stranger said, 'I know all about you Mormons. The Bible says you cannot worship God and Mormons!' 'No, no no, that would be God and Mammon sir!'" (another B of M placed)



"I just walked up to a man and said, 'You look really happy so I think we can talk to you!'"
(another B of M placed)

"One man said he couldn't talk to us because he was going to the photo shop. 'Funny thing', we said. 'That is just where we are going.'" (Another B of M placed and in the fly leaf of the book he wrote, "Two very nice boys!")

Elder: "Do you believe in God?"

Man on street: "There is NO GOD!"
Fearless Elder chased after him: "Why do you think there is no God?"

Man on street ended up with a B of M and a promise to read it!
