Transfer 2: Week 3; Cover Zone

Bienvienue a Temple Square!

Conference is coming, are you ready for it? I'm not so sure, over 100,000 people are coming just for tomorrow. Eek! It's going to be crazy, but it'll be good. This week has been interesting, especially since our friends with the signs are enjoying coming to Temple Square to scope out the best places for the big two days. A lot of sisters have encountered them and it makes me a little sad to see so many people so against people trying to come unto Christ. But I suppose that just means that they are fulfilling prophesy so I can't complain.

We've met some amazing people here though. This morning alone we got to meet two gentlemen from California one who has been a member for all his life, and one who is preparing to enter the temple himself in a couple of months. The convert had the most amazing testimony I've ever heard... He's such a good man and going to conference was his dream come true... and then he got to see what the Temple looks like inside. We've also met members from Guatemala and Tahiti. They had brought their families and were enjoying everything, just drinking in the spirit of the place. There are a lot of people from Ocala here, that surprised me. All of the guests (and many of the members) these last few days have been from Ocala. Interesting.

We also met a fun lady from Florida who was Jewish and was an interior designer. She loved taking photos and kept on trying to teach us how to take better photos by framing the subjects just right. We told her that we read the Book of Mormon to help us frame the shots of our lives, to give us perspective. She then wanted to learn more about this book of Mormon and how she could get one. Sadly she didn't want to meet with the missionaries, but she wanted to tell them about her experience on Temple Square the next time they knocked on her door... so that was a decent end. I always love it when we get people to want to read that copy of the Book of Mormon gaining dust on the Shelf. (or when members say they don't have anyone to refer because all their friends are already meeting with the missionaries.)

Wish me luck as I go on the next two days... we are going to be busy from 8AM-9PM, and we're going to the Saturday afternoon session of Conference so look for me in the front section :) Not much else to report, but I'm sure more will come later as time goes by.

Love you
