NYNYS Mission October 9-14, 1996

Well on the way back we were making a routine transfer on the train when a wailing voice came out of nowhere “There is only one book that is the word of God”  and so on…  We’re like “Oh brother.” We kept quiet.  I was impressed.  “The Mormon Church is wrong.” he continued.  Oh well. He followed us on the train but beforehand he said.  “Some are Muslims, Some Buddhists Some Mormongs.”  Then someone added, “Some crazy Christians”  I chuckled. Anyhow to make it short, it lasted the whole way home. As we got off, he hung out the door yelling at us. But two missionaries stayed on and one was behind him as we walked by.  I looked out the corner of my eye to see this man come flying out of the train with a little help of the “laying on of hands” by [Elder].  It was so funny.  I later heard there was a round of applause, high fives, and cheers by those still on the train.  And oh, someone said, “They must not be the true church either.”  Oh well, it was sure funny anyhow. The doors closed as he went.

NYNYS Mission March 10-17, 1996

March 10, 1996 (Sunday)
We went out and looked for somebody we could baptize that day and found a man. He lived in the sister’s area but we took him to the church and taught him. I was so impressed with my comp. I taught the man about God and Jesus Christ, then my comp told him God calls prophets. Then we committed him to be baptized.
