Today was a very adventurous day, and it was a good one, despite an interesting end to the evening. I had classes like

always on Mondays until 5. After my last class, I decided to go take the Russian Challenge Exam so I could get 16 credits of earlier Russian classes. It only took about 20 minutes and I got a 99%! That made me very excited.
I came home and told my roommate about our nighttime visitors from

last night who invited us to their ward's activity. It was to be a Thanksgiving Feast at a place called Spring Haven. We decided to go (free food!) and called to get a ride. We were a little late leaving, and as we were driving up, we weren't really sure where we were going. We turned off at this building that had a bunch of cars and we thought we were in the right place. We walked up to the door and saw a sign about

another ward's FHE, and so we thought we were in the right place. We walked right in . . . We were all astonished. The place was gorgeous! They had high ceilings and incredible style. They even had an electronic light switch that looked more like a computer screen then a light switch. We started walking around trying to find the people we were supposed to be meeting. It was then that we noticed the shoes and coats, and realiz

ed that we were in somebody's house. That's right! We walked right in to someone else's house! It was hilarious. We left, hoping no one had noticed our error.
Then we continued on our way. We finally came to Spring Haven. As we were walking up to the place, we were told that they ran out of food. That was very disappointing, but we went anyway. That place was incredible, too. There is an indoor tree house and an indoor basketball court. We explored a little, found some left over salad and chowed down. Then we went to the tree house to go down the slide.
(See pictures above. The top picture is me coming out of the infamous slide. The second picture is me with ice on my toe. The third is a small shot of the tree house. It is actually a lot bigger. The next picture is me eating pizza) It

was a lot of fun . . . the first time. Then something stupid happened. As I was preparing to go down the second time, I tried to get myself to go really fast. Unfortunately, I wasn't quite prepared for the size of the hole I was jumping in to and I stubbed my right second toe. It hurt so bad! I came out the other end and had to limp to a seat. A guy brought me some ice, but thinking that I had hurt my ankle, he brought a huge bag of ice. I iced my toe, but it kept swelling up.
(These last two pictures should illustrate a little what happened. I hope you can see the difference with my swollen toe. The last picture is me typing this blog with my foot elevated. That is quite a feet [a pun, hee hee!]) Still, we managed to have a lot of fun, and we finally got pizza.
Luckily, I have an

awesome home teacher who found me a pair of crutches within 20 minutes of me calling for his help. It was great because the crutches came from my awesome visiting teacher. Now I have a way to get around campus tomorrow. So, if you see me walking with crutches, that is my story. On the bright side, it gave others the opportunity to do service.
