Hey!

Sister Wagher and I are doing good! She does think she will freeze to death, but the whole cold thing is pretty hilarious! And it just gets worse and worse. I will just look at her and she is shivering, but she will have to get used to Nebraska weather pretty quick!

I absolutely loved the zoo and want to go back in the spring when we have more time and all of the animals are out. But I loved it!

Sadly, we didn't get to dress up for the trunk or treat, but we had an investigator come with her son and they were able to meet a lot of other people from the ward. And we won the best decorated trunk prize. We had parked in the middle of the trunk or treat, so a member gave us her candy saying she wanted to go with her kids. Everyone else had a ton of decorations and music, the whole 9 yards. And we decorated with what we had in our trunk: an emergency blanket, copies of the Book of Mormon, Church movies, and pass along cards. But we won, and we passed out 2 copies of the Book of Mormon.

The funniest thing this week was on Friday. We ate dinner with the Bishop and his wife. We were having ribs. He was using a spoon and a knife to get them out of the crock-pot, and one got stuck. He ended up all but throwing them in my lap! They ended up in my drink and I had the sauce all over my shirt. I have never seen his eyes so big. He apologized over and over and they told me they would wash my shirt. It was really not that bad and I told them that, but they wouldn't let me leave until they got the stain out. I had to wear one of the Bishop’s wife's shirts. They are avid BYU fans and they know that I am a Utah fan (sorry). So she gives me this shirt to wear with a sly smile on her face and it was a BYU football shirt. We both just started laughing. She said she just couldn't help herself. We got a picture of probably one of the only times you will see me wearing a BYU shirt. It was hilarious. We ended up spending like two and a half  hours there because they would not let us leave until it was completely washed with the stain out and dried.

Another amazing thing, after the party on Saturday night we decided to try one person before we headed home. It was pretty dark and there were some leaves covering a hole. I almost fell but did drop my purse. When we got home, I was looking for my camera and couldn't find it anywhere. Sunday, we tried to look at the Church and we thought the only place it could be was where I almost fell. It must have fallen out of my purse. While we were looking for it, a lady comes out of her house and asks if we are looking for a camera, that she found one and her neighbor has it. We got ahold of the neighbor and she said she knew people that came to our Church, so apparently Heavenly Father has a plan with these people. We are going to try back this upcoming week. And hopefully we will find a new investigator!

Thanks, love you guys!
