At the morning meeting Walter did a rendition of "Uptown Funk" that was renamed to "Uptown Folk." The song had been written by Maddy, and Walter and a few others did a dance to it. Walter being the lead singer. "Uptown Folk" was a parody written about the experience of Conference with lines like
- "Uptown folk are there for you."
- "Take my cup put some coffee in it."
- "Too hot, Pizza Joe's"
- "Free time, Hallelujah!"
- "Uptown here we go."
I would post the link to this beautiful performance, but I don't think it's on YouTube.
For lunch I was a dishwasher. After lunch Jeremy gave me a new mission which was to find out what the Mission Bazaar was. I wasn't able to ask him, Rachel, or Walter so I asked someone who's been at Conference just as long. I ran up to Maddy and asked her. She told me what it was, and I told Jeremy I was leaving. It turned out to be like a missionary rummage sale with things from all over the world that missionaries didn't want to keep in their houses anymore at cheaper prices. I was really intrigued by the things and ended up buying a mini wooden cross from Bethlehem, a fan from Japan, and a box of foreign stamps. The box of foreign stamps was free.
After visiting the store I went back to the dorms to go shower, only to find out the blood drive was taking place in the same building as Mission Bazaar had been. I waited in the room for a long time at the blood drive but it turned out that I wasn't able to give blood because my hemoglobin level was too low. At this point I was super tired so I went back to the dorms to go sleep for a bit.
After the evening meeting God brought up a lot of hidden emotions for me so I had a quiet time that night before small group. After small group I met up with a very tired Jeremy in the lobby to share with him certain memories I had written in my journal earlier that year.
