| All of us had interesting brushes with people as we taught the gospel. These are several of those that tickled my funny bone.
When I was with Elder Wayne Widdison in Haugesund we watched a young man approach us on the street. It was apparent that he was thinking furiously of something to say to us. As he drew near he looked at Elder Widdison, and said loudly, "Big Nose!" With out missing a beat Elder Widdison replied conversationally, "Your Mother wears army boots."
Once, I think in Haugesund, we rang a doorbell which got stuck and continued to ring. The door suddenly swung open and a wild eyed woman with a very large butcher knife in her hand stormed through it. My life passed before my eyes. Then she turned, inserted the point of the knife into the edge of the offending doorbell and popped it back out, thus fixing the bell. Then she turned to us impatiently saying, "What do YOU want!" It is perhaps understandible that our tongues were somewhat tied.
At a door in Alesund, A man dissmissed us with "I am sorry, but I am not interesting."
Several young men approached Elder Alan Swenson and me in Alesund, and one of them put his nose about six inched from my face and said loudly, "Halelujah, han er med meg!"
(Halelujah he is with me) in an attempt to mock us. I said to him in Norwegian, "Look, if you're trying to give us a bad time you're going about it all wrong. We're Mormons not born again Protestant Christians. Next time you want to bother us use something like how many wives we have, or ask to see our horns, or maybe tells us how bad the tabernacle choir sings, ok? So next time you'll know better." We walked away leaving a throurougly confused young man in our wake. |
