Ok, so I have to tell a story I forgot to last week. Sacrament meeting is the last of the three hour block, but the first week we got here, they had it the first hour, so last week, we sat in the chapel, waiting for sacrament meeting to begin. It wasn't until halfway through the first song, that we noticed it was only men in there. We walked out, realizing it was priesthood. The elders and others got a good laugh at us. It was pretty funny actually. Houses are totally decked out for Halloween! Holy crud. People go completely crazy here with their decoration. Also, it has motivated me a ton knowing how people pray for me. As a missionary, you get a least a million prayers a day in your behalf, and it's very humbling. Wow.
Today we sang in the choir. Relief society was great. It was about conquering loneliness through the Atonement. It was hard to not cry. I didn't cry, though. Mike came to Sunday school and sacrament and so did Lorrie, a lady we ran into the other day. She gave us complete credit in front of everyone and has wondered why no one has found her yet. Not that I need credit...I don't, but it's nice to see someone happier because of something you did. She didn't know where the church was or anything. She was loved by a lot of people there today. Sister Largo and I spoke in sacrament meeting. Six hours at church today.
We had dinner at the McNaughton's and said goodbye to the Mantua Elders:(Sad day. It was a perfect day actually...except my stomach hurts. Something is wrong with it. I started collecting a bunch of leaves and am making a ginormous collage. We also made cute little thank-you cards for families that have us over for dinner. We fold little papers into the shape of a shirt, and they have a tie and a badge like a missionary. Way cute and we kind of hide them for families that have us over. We have a dinner appointment every night this week!
