Oh yeah.. I think I see them around in my neighborhood too. They wear black pants and a nice white shirt, sometimes with a tie too carrying around a bookbag and a bible. I think they're Mormons. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. And yes, the majority of them are handsome :p My dad loves talking to people about religion and when I was around 12 or 13 he invited a pair of them into our house and talked for an hour. Ahhh, I was happy
Whenever I see them nowadays I just pray they don't get harrassed or mugged in my neighborhood.

Ahh, I see now, thanks. Christian religion is kinda getting smaller in my region. People who believe in God are in the minority. Its still big in the farm regions but not in the city's. Never heard of the book of mormons though. I'll look it up sometime.
So do these american young men come to your country to try and convert people to their religion or something (is it an american religion)?

When they were at my house, that is the impression I got but mostly to spread awareness of their beliefs. I remember they offered to baptize or perform religious ceremonies. They also invitied us and our friends to go to a mass.

The Amish are mostly in Pennsylvania somewhere. I don't even know if there are Amish anywhere outside of that area.

I visited an amish town in Shipshewana, IN. I got stared at for being Asian.. One lady commented on my Notre Dame shirt and asked which of my parents were Irish :p I also picked up a book on the top five tourist attractions of the states in the US, and Shipshewana was up there with the Indy 500 and Notre Dame football games. I love Amish towns.. they have great butter, bread and milk
