Super Chilling Halloween

Our Halloween night was very busy. Around 6 PM, we dressed up in Yukata and headed for church. We had yummy chilli - I was hoping for hot dogs to be less messy, but it was good chilli :) - and went through spooky rooms to collect candies and toys. Sometimes Emma was too skeptical to go in, so they had to turn on the light :) I wasn't so sure about Yukata for Halloween because it wasn't creative - we just wore something we had - but people in our ward were very nice. Even after Halloween, people came up to us and said they appreciated that we "shared our culture." Wow, what a big deal!!

Then we headed to the Wesley Methodist Church to meet my host family. They welcomed us with their Trunk or Treat in the parking lot. We only meet so many times a year, we had a lot to update. We were talking in the chill for good half an hour.

Then we went to Jacob's sister's house. They opened up their huge shop for no-gambling Poker, kids' games and mothers to sit and eat :) And in their backyard, oh my goodness, they made a graveyard and a coffin that automatically opens and shuts along with spooky chanting!!!! On top of that, as soon as we were about to head back to the shop, they ran out of gas, so it got completely dark except a few plastic neon lights that they had dropped on the path. I had never had such a chilling Halloween!!! That was good :D
