11/01/2010 - Week 77

Halloween! This has been a good week, lots of stuff. We had exchanges,... wait I already told you that on Thursday. Since then, we had a good lesson with a less active guy in the Canyon Mobil Home Park. He has such a pure humble testimony. That was good.

Do you like that Halloween picture? That was good. Elder Tuipulotu has a superman t-shirt under his white shirt, and that is Elder Tui's Fresh Prince tie I was wearing (you should have seen the bottom half of it!) There is a really cool family in the ward, the Stephens'. Last week we pranked Brother Stephens by saying I was a greeny, and I acted all awkward and stuff. Anyways, he is pretty much a big-old black comedian (his family gave us the pumkins to carve). So... he got a kick out of me dressing as a black man and and Elder Tui going as a white guy. Missionaries can get creative if they want to!
Halloween night was great! We had dinner with my favorite family in the ward. We went out back and grilled all the food with their son. It was so good. When Trick or Treating began, we built a fire in one of those portable fire place things and put it at the base of their driveway. (I love fire!) We cooked marshmellows, and handed out candy, and set a table with all sorts of church supplies for people to take. We actually got some takers. It was really good because they live in a very large gated community which normally we can't work in. Success.
Gated communities are starting to get really big over here. There are lots of them. Some only require a code, others have gate gards and security. This one has a code and security. Cut your self off from the world why don't you? Crazy people
