Gardner Village Starting the Halloween Season

In our opinion, one of the most fun things to do during the Halloween season is to walk around Gardner Village to see all of the funny looking witches and decorations. Meira really liked the witch hats and the pumpkins. She especially liked this little stool in one of the stores though. Anything that is her size really makes her day. I could see why living in such a big world. :-)

My Mission Trainer Comes to Town!

I am sure all of you have had people who have come into your life who have made your life better forever. One of these people in my life is my trainer, Alli Condie Louthain, from SLC, UT. She lives out of state now and came to visit her home last week. We were able to spend a few hours together at Gardner Village looking at witches, trying to keep children entertained, all the while catching up on nearly 4 years of absence. We could be apart for years and reunited feeling the same love we felt as we served together. She is one of those people who know how to make anyone in their presence feel loved and special. I learned so much from serving with her. I love ya Zolonda!

Pumpkin Patch

I don't know what it is about pumpkins, but they are just fun! Meira has been facsinated with them ever since pumpkins have begun showing up all over the place. She calls them "Butch" (pronounced with a short "u"). She got to take a minitature pumpkin home the night of our pumpkin patch outing and giggled all the way home with excitement.
