October clam dinner Halloween themed. Game was a Halloween themed Concentration?

Our apple cranberry juice was bubbling with some added dry ice. A nice effect.
Deviled avocado eggs with candy eyes, of course, you could use a squirt of mayo with a silver of olives on them as well. They were really good.

Decorations provided by one of our local service misisonaries

Three pumpkin flavored desserts and one banana pudding with vanilla wafers.

Fruit salad and green salad with a side of corn casserole/ Or maybe it was corn pudding? It was really good, I had never had it before. A sister from Texas made it,

Five soup choices: clam chowder, minestrone, chicken noodle, taco soup, and broccoli cheddar I think.

She has pretty placemats and squashes adorning the tables. 
The game we played had numbers 1-5 under five different categories, candy, pumpkins, traditions, Halloween history and one other. Everyone got a turn to guess one with help of course. Some were really interesting facts like what country Vampire bats are from.

So someday she wants to be a foster parent too. Which lead to our discussion about the challenge of raising children who have experienced early trauma. I introduced her to another Sister to help her. A few days later she came again with more questions. This time the questions were about the church.      We are only allowed to answer questions about family history and bear a brief testimony about why we do family history work, I did just that.  We are not allowed to proselytize in the Library.  We want people to feel comfortable coming here.  Since she still had more questions I introduced her to the younger Sister missionaries  ...

They met at the St George temple and became friends and then 6 month later ended up getting married. Then a year later they decided to go on a mission and  have been called to serve in Somoa. They were darling. Wished I was going with them. This couple was our "ohers" that we practiced teaching on/ They are serving in Africa and were wonderful.
