I have to hand it to SteVen for learning Russian...I had my Siberian contractor translate my great grandfather's Russian passport from 1903, it answered a lot of questions I had about the family.

All Mormon boys learn the language of the place where they're going to do their mission. You can't knock on doors and wave the book of Mormon at people without being able to speak to them.

Our cult did; we handed people a *card* with the greeting and sermon written in their language.

I bet they weren't as well organized as the Mormons, though. Seriously, I saw a show on PBS about them once, it was terrifying. All the young men who are going on mission are trained for something like a year. They travel in pairs and are encouraged to narc on each other.

Have you ever watched Jesus Camp? Not Mormons but it was horrifying.

Oh, Ari is ever the loving, affectionate wife now. Because she knows she'll never darken Bini's door again.

I see you've been to Long Island a few times?

I did and I was indeed horrified.

Never. But I know the type. I'm from Boston, after all. Everyone who goes to college in Boston is from Long Island, Connecticut or New Jersey. Let's just say they're a "type".

They learn a complete language in only 6 weeks, 9 weeks if it’s a difficult language to write, such as Korean.
