Last Night was Halloween, most of the Sisters are from countries all over the and have no idea about American holidays or traditions. We closed up all of the buildings on the Square at 5:00 pm and they went to a local Stake Center to Party.
We all ate Pizza, "Dirt and Worms" and drank Apple Cider. We then had Costume Parade, just like in Elementary School. The Sisters then went "trick of treating" to some of the class rooms.
We went as Elder Glad Bag and Sister Glad Wrap, simple but effective. We then stayed up late to clean up the mess that all of the Hyper sisters left. It was a great time had by all. Some comments from the Sisters. What does Trick part mean? I don't want to eat worms!
what is it that we are celebrating? Why do we cut up Pumpkins? ect.
We are serving at the "Family Tree" in Park City, a visitor center to attract the attention of all of the people who come there to vacation. We are to help them to find some of their family history and introduce them to the Church. We go Park City on Tuesdays. 
We have access to several Commercial Data Bases, such as Ancestor dot com. I, Dad have found some interesting things on the other sites. Such as Niels Peter Andersons' Passport application. Showing the Ship he was on while sailing to America. The ship was in a collision with another ship while returning to the old country and sank. I am also finding a lot of information on the "Parents line".
Every week is a new adventure.
