The girls followed the group into an LDS chapel. The meeting happened to be fast and testimony meeting. The young students sat quietly at the back not wanting to draw any attention to themselves. As the meeting progressed, members of the branch stood one by one and bore testimonies of Jesus Christ, the prophet Joseph Smith, and the gospel. The girls felt the Spirit and wanted to know more. When the meeting was over, they approached the missionaries who looked like they were in charge. The interested girls asked the missionaries if one of them was Jesus Christ. The missionaries responded, "No, but we teach about him." The girls then asked the missionaries if one of them was Joseph Smith. The missionaries responded, "No, but we teach about him." The girls then asked how much it would cost for them to be taught more about Jesus Christ and Joseph Smith. When the missionaries told the girls they would teach them for free, the girls were delighted. Before long they had taken the lessons, accepted the message, and joined the Church--all because they hungered for more than food. (Anyone who knows more details, please comment.)
