A Catholic, a Jew, a convert and two Mormon Missionaries....(Sounds like and intro to a bad joke, but it's not!)

Wherefore, I the Lord ask you this question—unto what were ye ordained? To preach my gospel by the Spirit, even the Comforter which was sent forth to teach the truth.
Doctrin and Covenants 50:13-14
"We have couple of other investigators that are doing great. One woman is about your age, maybe older, she's really busy with her children and work, she teaches at a Catholic school, scary. She's way nice though. Her name is Virginia. We started teaching a Jewish woman last night. Holy cow, am I glad I've been studying abouth the tribes of Israel last week. She had some good questions about the relationship between the Twelve Tribes and the Twelve Apostles, what happened to the priesthood that was held by the Jews when Christ came. Tough stuff. Marty Oostreicher is a Jewish convert of about two years. He knows his stuff, Judiasm and Christianity. He works for BYU-I doing something, I'm not sure what. He said he'd go with us to teach, but if he can't that he'll visit with us and help us understand Judiasm a bit better, I can't wait."
~Elder Maughan

Marty is a great guy. I was at his baptism. I bet that any investigator that can hear from Marty is in good hands.
