Happy Halloween!                                                                                                                                                                         

This week was a great week actually.  A lot of things just seemed to go well.  Halloween was pretty awesome.  We carved some watermelons for our jack-o-lanterns.  Pretty creative and worked pretty well.  Really small though.  Then in the evening most of us dressed up and trick or treated in the apartment.  We are 8 in this apartment so we have enough.  There are 4 bedrooms so we each bought some candies and then went around to each room.  I was Darth Vader because we recently have been having a Star Wars phase.  Another guy was Obi Wan Kenobi, we had a wizard or 2 and a Ghanaian Mommy with her baby (the companion) tied to her back.   It was really fun.  When they came to my room I had a treat and a trick.  I sat in front of the door and had one of those elastic bands between my feet forming a sling shot and started shooting them with my candies.  What great fun.   We've got too many Americans together.

I thought that was the highlight to the week until Sunday came around and we finally had the rebroadcast of Conference.  This was the first time I really got to watch Conference on my mission, it was GREAT.  Plus we had R. came to Church and he ate it up!  We watched the Sunday morning then the Sat afternoon.  He loved the talks in the morning about the prophet.  We had a 10 minute break in between the 2 and I asked him how it was and he was super excited.  He said "Today I got to listen to the prophet speak."  Great guy.  Plus Conference was just awesome.  I loved it and learned so much.  Elder Holland's talk really really hit me hard.  There is so much more good I can do in the world.  I'm trying to give in all the ways I can now.  Missionaries are somewhat limited but I want to do more. 

The work is moving along pretty well all things considered.  A lot of the same old things so we are trying different approaches to be more effective.   MLC is this week so I am pretty excited for that.  We met the stake presidency last Tuesday.  That was really good.  We got some good advice from them.  They are returned missionaries so they know how it goes too.  

Love you all!
