The Thrifts

One thing I am very grateful for is our wonderful Institute Teachers and YSA Advisers Earl and Cheryl Thrift! They do so much for us all the time. Not only do they teach a wonderful institute class every wednesday and feed us a great meal but they also invite us over to their house for FHE (Family Home Evening) once a month and take us out on their boat. The left over food from these activities have given me food to eat when things were tight many times.

They are so generous to us and that never seems to stop. For example, today is Cheryl's birthday (Happy Birthday!) but does that stop them from inviting us over for FHE even though they just had a party for us on Halloween? Nope. We are still having FHE there tonight!

To show you of their awesomeness here are some pictures from the Halloween Party we had there last wednesday. I was fortunate enough to be able to help her plan and make some of the things for the party as well.

This is Cheryl and I in our costumes for the party.

This is the yummy dirt pudding she made!

 I made these eyeballs for the party by covering pumpking donut holes with chocolate and then decorating them.
 
These are the carrot fingers Sister Henson helped my make. (Thanks Sister Henson)

Apple mouths that Sister Haynie helped my make. (Thanks Sister Haynie)

The cheese fingers Fatima made. Aren't they great. Thanks Fatima!

Eyeballs made by Sister Henson and Deanna I believe. (Deanna helped on a lot of them. Thanks!) 

 
Susage mummies Ayesha and I made. These were so yummy! (Thanks for your help Ayesha!)

 Pudding ghosts that Deanna made. (Thanks again!)
 
Banana Ghosts I made. They would have looked better with chocolate faces but I just didn't have the time or energy to do that.

 We also had some games to play which the favorite was pumpking bowling. (That's Ayesha bowling in this picture.)
 
The missionaries: Dead Elder Garcia, Sister Red Riding Hood, and Sister Haynie.

Us with Sisters.

Our little Exchange Family.

 
And while we are talking about Halloween I through this one in though it was taken at the dance. Stacy the Treasure Troll and I. Her hair is actually blue but you can't see it very well.
 
 
Thanks to the Thrift for throwing the party and to all of you who helped with it and came to make it fun. I love you guys, all of you!
