Today we went tracting. Most people aren't interested, or very involved in their own faith. It's strange when people say that I have an accent. We watched General Conference at Sue's house on a little laptop. She is a recent convert. She's awesome. She just got introduced to Genealogy and has 3000 names from her own family to do temple work for. She's the most inspiring lady. I think she's a stronger member of the church than I am. She's telling everyone about the church and people are getting baptized. My companion taught her. She's waiting to meet her German fiancee, who is in Africa at the moment so he can get baptized and they can get married. The met over the internet. She's so excited to receiver he "patriotic" blessing. Haha.
We ate her cake we made for her, and some pizza between conferences. I've decided I'm going to be in the Mormon Tabernacle choir. It's now one of my life goals. They announced a new Brigham City Utah Temple today!!
In the evening, we visited a Jewish man. He's a very intellectually religious person. He loves talking religion and loves the missionaries. He gave us cookies, hot chocolate, and tons of ice cream. I just feel like I ate a bucket of chocolate. He respects us young people coming out here. He says it's very character building. He's an interesting fellow. I'm excited for Sewell/Glassboro: college town. Conference was great. I never really got much out of conference before, but I realized you do have to prepare spiritually beforehand to really enjoy and appreciate it.
