00:00You're not here to do good for yourself, you've been doing that for 19 years.
00:24You come here to do good for other people.
00:32You know we're missionaries, right?
00:34Sure.
00:35So you know what we do.
00:36Yeah, you're kind of like nuns, but you're men.
00:42Hi, I'm Elder Allen, and this is...
00:49You're not going to convert a single soul, because it's not about you.
00:51Hey, you're lonely today, Elder?
00:53Oh, I'm lonely every day.
00:54Did you read that book I gave you?
00:56The Lord converts them, they convert themselves, we just teach by the Spirit.
01:00Would you mind if we left with a prayer?
01:09I like to read.
01:10Oh, really?
01:11What would you say are the three greatest books ever written?
01:14I think I read one of Steinbeck's back in high school.
01:19You know that one where he takes that rabbit and strangles it?
01:22Of Mice and Men.
01:23I think that's a short one.
01:24Did you read that book we gave you?
01:25No.
01:26I read it.
01:27Could someone like me teach the gospel?
01:28Be a missionary, I mean.
01:29Absolutely.
01:30What would you think if the apostles and the prophets weren't telling the truth, and we're
01:31telling the big lie?
01:32Read those books I left you.
01:33A lot of things in there you should know.
01:34I'm just writing.
01:35You're writing?
01:36Yeah, I'm writing.

01:51I'm writing.
01:52He is wrong, isn't he?
01:53I can teach you the rules, I can teach you the discussions, but what you really need
01:58to know is what's going to get you out of bed in the morning.
02:00I can't teach you that.
02:01I love her.
02:02And I love you.
02:03This bus goes right through Kansas City.
02:07And I can't convert you.
02:10Come with me.
02:15Get up, your granny just went AWOL.
02:23Thank you, Elvis.
02:36Alright, let's do some good.
