Just so everyone knows, Haloween here is not like Athens, OH halloween. I wish I had more time, a license, and a car to prepare for Halloween. I went as an elf, again. It was the only costume I had here and I had no creativity attacks for costume ideas. My friends, on the other hand were creative. My favorite was the portable water fountain!! One of my friends came to the ward halloween party with dollar earrings. She was... a Buck- an- ear! That was very creative! Alex was Danny from Greese, except that he looked like Clark in Smallville when he has the red Kryptonite ring! I told him this and he said that worked too. 
This past week was also my first Relief Society Activity Meeting (Enrichment). I had to teach to set the example for the committee. The lesson was on journals. I had them make Journal Boxes. These are like Journal Jars but 2"x 2" boxes. They all turned out really cute! I had recieved so many compliments it was weird. I had been stressing myself out over this activity all week!
Our ward also went on a nature hike in the woods behind the Lofts, otherwise the girls' dorm. The trail led to the soccer/ football field. It was so beautiful out. I was happy to observe the creation that God made for all of us.
I have a request for all who read this blog. PLEASE PRAY FOR MY FRIEND! Her name is Ally Walker. She went to visit her family in California this past week, her brother? came home from his mission. She texted one of her other friends here and said she might not come back soon because she got sick with Swine Flu. Not a joke! I just think she needs some support and we can do that through prayer, so please pray for Ally.
I will get to come home for Thanksgiving, but I won't be there until Wednesday afternoon. I'm riding with a friend from Portsmouth and her brother. I will make sure I get out of the house and visit everyone!
That's whats new in BV!
