Will and I made it without incident to Columbus. We had help from a lot of friendly people in the airport. Tonight I ran four miles with my brothers, Greg and Allen. I loved it. Greg asked Allen to name his top five chapters in the Book of Mormon to share with investigators. I enjoyed listening to them discuss which chapters were there favorite to share--3 Nephi 11, 3 Nephi 27, Alma 7, and Jacob 4. (Allen just returned from his mission in Brazil. While I was in Columbus, I was also able to attend Allen's homecoming.) Greg also asked what the top five reasons people gave for not wanting to listen to a gospel message. Allen said most people would answer the door and when they'd hear that the missionaries wanted to share a message of Jesus Christ, their disposition would change. The people would then say "I am in the middle of cooking dinner" or "I am giving my baby a bath" or "I was just on my way out"-- they'd be in a bath robe and it would be noon. I asked him about his top favorite meals. Number one was rice and beans. |
