October 30 Saturday

 

Today was supposed to rain all day, but it really never did. We needed butter for the frosting for the cake so we set out for the mall. We arrived and the stores are starting to really get in the Christmas mode. 
I like it. We bought our stuff and headed back home. A little old lady was across the street. We see them at times and they all dress the same, only some of them are a bit younger and appear more active and perhaps cleaner. The old ones sit in their doorway. They dress all in black from their scarves to their shoes. They are widows and sometimes they are in the cemetery or shopping. It is like their life is waiting to die. The reason I noticed this one is we are getting ready for our branch halloween party and I thought she was in a witch costume without her pointed hat.


We went to lunch with at a member’s house. Then to follow up on one of our contacts a woman from Brazil. We found her and set up a return appointment. Next the church to help with the party. It was well attended. 


One of the elders and I cooked. Good party. But a lot of cleanup. I was tired when we finished. 10 people who had not been to any church function while we have been here attended.

Home checked in with Logan and got a call from the branch president reminding us of the time change tonight. We love you all.

I didn’t quite realize that other counties celebrate Halloween, but it makes sense. Ward/community parties always bring a good turnout!

That's fun that you got to cook with the Elder for the party. I noticed the Holloween sign is spelled the same as it is here, so do they say it the same? Love you guys! Love Ashley!
