Did you know that the magical drink called Kool-Aid
was invented in Hastings Nebraska?
And did you know that every year there is a grand celebration
in honor of this tasty beverage?
Yes indeed folks, and not only that but you get to drink all the
Kool-Aid you can possibly stand
with just the price of a $2.00 cup.
In honor of this celebration we traveled the two hours to Hastings
just to be a part of this historic event.
It was a little over stated in the brochure
and instead of 30,000 in attendance there may have been 500
and the "innovative inventions by up and coming inventors
all on display for our enjoyment"
turned out to be a craft show...
but we were able to track down the actual birth place
of the liquid refreshment
and even though it was a boarded up building
we took our picture just to be able to say:
"We were there!"
We actually had a very fun day just being together,
seeing more of this beautiful state and
rubbing shoulders with so many of the nice people who live here.
Thanks Hastings!

When all is said and done, you were together, having fun making memories to laugh about for years to come! That's what matters most! Love you guys!!
I just spent a few lovely minutes browsing your blog, Sister Kunz. Thanks so much for taking the time to post the photos and happenings of the Nebraska Omaha mission. Sister Hale (our daughter) was absolutely thrilled to be able to ride with you to the conference the other day and had some great things to say about you. Thanks for being her mom away from home. She loves you, trusts you and truly looks up to you. Gratefully, Sandra Hale
LOL, I love Dan's face in the kool-aid man picture! :D Aunt Leslie, I love hearing about your experiences on here -
As to turtles, I love them to death. My current turtle (Tucker) is pretty fearless. But when we moved him from my apartment back to my house, the darkness and unfamiliar environment frightened him. He only bites under such circumstances. Otherwise, he is very sweet. He lets me pet his neck and crawls around my room when I do homework. :)
Our apt. managers said we could have pets in tanks, and Tucker is technically a tank pet. (Red-Eared Slider). So we got to keep him there. :) Now he lives in Moroni's room.
Hope you're doing well! I wish I could be in the mission field with you...
